Care and cleaning continued
for about 5 minutes and you will find that
after this time the dry/caramelised milk will
easily wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.
Important: Never clean the steam wand with
an abrasive pad as this will damage the
steam wand.
Should the steam wand become blocked,
supplied with the espresso machine is a cleaning pin. The cleaning pin is located on
the inside of the back door of the espresso
machine. With the cleaning pin insert it into
the hole in the base of the steam nozzle
(49). Should the steam wand remain blocked
unscrew the steam nozzle from the steam
wand. Clean the steam nozzle by once again
using the cleaning pin then flush under
running water.
Cleaning the group head
Deposits of coffee oils build up over time and
affect the taste of the coffee and operation
of the espresso machine. Therefore the
group head will require regular cleaning. It is
recommended that the group head is cleaned
every 3 months, this will vary depending on
the frequency of use.
Preparing for the cleaning cycle
1. Remove the water reservoir and rinse
clean. To do so, open the door on the
back of the espresso machine (3) and
simply slide out the water reservoir (4).
With fresh water completely fill (5) and
replace the reservoir.
2. With the door to the back of the espresso
machine still open remove the cleaning
disc, located on the inside of the back
door (50).
3. Should the filter handle be attached to
the group head remove it. Remove the
filter basket and rinse both thoroughly
under running water and set aside.
4. Empty and rinse clean the drip tray,
then place back into position on to the
machine.
5. Fit the filter handle with the two cup
filter basket (51).
6. Position the cleaning disc into the two
cup filter basket (52).
7. Place a Sunbeam Espresso Machine
Cleaning Tablet into the filter basket that
is now also fitted with the cleaning disc
(53) and secure the filter handle to the
group head (54) (55).
8. Place a sufficiently large container under
both pouring spouts (56).
Starting the cleaning cycle
9. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V
AC power outlet and switch the power
‘ON’.
Note: Although the espresso machine is on
at the power outlet ensure that the actual
espresso machine power is ‘OFF’. Therefore
