Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR 
SUNBEAM ESPRESSO MACHINE
•  Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
•  Do not operate without water in reservoir. 
Fill reservoir with only clean and cold water. 
Observe the maximum filling volume is 3 litres.
•  Do not remove the filter handle during the 
espresso pour or water flow as the unit is 
under pressure. Removing the filter handle 
during either of these operations can lead to a 
scalding or injury.
•  The steam wand and hot water tap become 
very hot during texturing milk and water flow. 
This may cause burns in case of contact, 
therefore avoid any direct contact with the 
steam wand or hot water tap.
•  Always disconnect the plug from the power 
outlet prior to cleaning the espresso machine 
or if there is any problem during the coffee 
making process.
•  Do not allow the power cord to come into 
contact with the hot parts of the espresso 
machine, including the cup warming plate, hot 
water tap and steam wand.
•  Do not place hands directly under the steam, 
hot water or coffee pour as this can lead to a 
scalding or injury.

About espresso coffee
Congratulations on the purchase of your 
Sunbeam Café Series® Espresso Machine.
The Sunbeam Café Series® delivers quality, 
style and superior performance capturing 
the essence of the commercial kitchen. 
Inspired by heavy-duty equipment found in 
restaurants, cafés and bars, the Sunbeam 
Café Series® is built to last. It brings together 
a range of appliances designed to expertly 
create authentic café food and beverages at 
home.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel, 
brass and die-cast alloy characterise the 
range. This combined with advanced 
technology and functional design, guarantee 
the performance, that each product will 
surpass expectations.
The Sunbeam Café Series® Espresso Machine 
features a twin pump, twin thermoblock, 
TPTT™ system to ensure a stable water 
temperature while also allowing simultaneous 
production of espresso and steam to texture 
milk. 
The dedicated twin thermoblock heating 
system takes away the waiting time for water 
temperatures to change between pouring 
espresso and producing steam. The twin 
pumps enables the coffee maker to deliver 
instant steam for texturing milk and at the 
same time produce a serve of espresso just 
like a commercial machine.
Another feature of the espresso machine is 
the progressive pre-infusion. The pre-infusion 
gradually releases water pressure pre-soaking 
the coffee grinds before full water pressure 
is applied. This in turn delivers greater body 
and sweetness to the espresso.
The Café Series® Espresso Machine is 
designed with quality die-cast metal 
components and includes many features that 
make producing delicious espresso at home 
even easier. We hope you enjoy your new 
espresso machine and should you need any 
further assistance please don’t hesitate to 
contact the Sunbeam Coffee Hotline on  
1300 881 861.

Features of your Café Series® 
Espresso Machine
Twin Pump and Twin Thermoblock – TPTT™ 
System
The machine is fitted with a 15 BAR pump 
for the espresso function, delivering the 
pressure required for a complete extraction of 
oils, coffee solids and aroma. An additional 
4 BAR pump is dedicated to the steam 
function, producing instant steam pressure 
for texturing milk.
Independent thermoblock heating systems 
lined with stainless steel, heat the water 
ensuring the precise temperature is achieved 
for each function eliminating waiting time 
and reducing temperature fluctuations.
TPTT™ System – Simultaneous Use
True to commercial use, the unique 
TPTT™ System features twin pumps and 
twin thermoblocks, this allows the coffee 
maker to texture milk and pour an espresso 
simultaneously.
Espresso Gauge
The espresso gauge is an indicator of the 
quality of the espresso pour and should be 
used as a guide.
It measures the pressure or resistance 
created by water being pumped through the 
tamped coffee grinds in the group handle.
Whilst the needle is within the target area on 
the gauge it indicates that a quality serve of 
espresso has been made. This is indicated by a 
Under 
Extracted 
Pour
Over 
Extracted 
Pour
Optimum 
Pour

Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued
slow and steady pour of liquid espresso with a 
consistency similar to that of dripping honey. 
The crema should be dark golden in colour.
Should the needle fail to reach the target 
area this is an indication that the serve of 
espresso is ‘under-extracted’. This occurs 
when water passes too quickly through the 
tamped coffee grinds and is an indication 
that either the grind needs to be made finer 
or the filter basket has been under-dosed. 
The pour is quick and light in colour and the 
resulting crema is thin with a creamy light 
brown colour.
When the needle goes beyond the target area 
it is an indication that the serve of espresso 
is ‘over-extracted’. This occurs when the 
water passes very slowly through the tamped 
coffee grinds and is an indication that either 
the grind is too fine or the filter basket has 
been over-dosed. In this situation the hot 
water is in contact with the coffee grinds 
for too long thus creating a burnt and bitter 
tasting espresso. This is characterised by 
the espresso only slowly dripping during the 
entire pour and the crema is very dark.
Commercial Size Group Head & Group Handle
The group head, group handle and filters are 
designed to commercial specifications using 
brass and stainless steel components. These 
elements help contribute to the preparation 
of an espresso serve, as it allows the coffee 
maker to pack the necessary amount of 
coffee grinds, which then expand firmly and 
evenly onto the shower screen.

Filter Baskets
Supplied with the espresso machine are two 
different sets of filter baskets – Standard 
Filter Baskets (one and two cup) and Dual-
Floor Filter Baskets (one and two cup). 
The Standard Filter Baskets (one and two 
cup) are the same specification as used with 
commercial espresso machines and are less 
tolerant to the quality of the coffee bean. 
They have a single floor to the filter and if 
held up to the light you can see many small 
holes.
Note: For the optimum results Sunbeam 
recommends that you use these filters with 
this espresso machine.
To achieve the optimum espresso pour with 
these filters it is best to grind the coffee 
as you need it. Therefore we recommend a 
conical burr grinder such as the Café Series® 
Grinder (Code EM0480) to ensure you have 
complete control of the particle size and are 
assured a consistent grind.
Note: If you don’t have a grinder and have 
your coffee beans ground for you, then you 
must request that the coffee is ground very 
fine, the same fineness that would be used 
on a commercial espresso machine.
The Dual-Floor Filter Baskets (one and two 
cup) are designed to be used with pre-
ground coffee that is typically available at 
supermarkets and delicatessens. They have 
two floors, looking into the filter basket you 
can see many small holes and when held up 
to the light and looking at the under-side of 
the filter you will see a single hole.
These pre-ground coffee types are often 
vacuum packaged into a brick shape and 
their packaging states that they are a 
‘universal grind’ that can be used throughout 
a variety of coffee makers. The particle size 
of ‘Universal grind’ is too coarse for making 
quality espresso, therefore the Dual-Floor 
Filter Baskets are designed to compensate 
for this by slowing the flow of liquid espresso 
creating a subtle aeration to ensure a golden 
crema. Dual-floor filters or similar designs are 
used in most domestic espresso machines.
Control Panel
An easy to use control panel provides the 
choice of manual operation or utilising the 
programmed espresso pour lengths. The 
programmed espresso pour is set to 30mls 
per cup while the Program function allows 
users to personalise and save their own 
espresso volumes.

Pre-Infusion
Pre-infusion is programmed into the 
‘MANUAL’,   single espresso and   double 
espresso operations. It is a gradual increase 
of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake 
before full water pressure is applied. This in 
turn delivers greater body and sweetness to 
the espresso.
Anti-Calc Filter
An Anti-Calc water filter reduces impurities 
that taint the flavour and odour of the 
water, improving the taste and aroma of the 
espresso brewed. Additionally, scale build up 
is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning 
required. 
The Anti-Calc water filter fitted inside the 
3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life 
for domestic use and a 3 month life for 
commercial use.
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1300 881 
861 for replacement filters (Part code: 
EM69101).
Note: The espresso machine can operate 
normally without the filter and is easily 
removed by gently pulling it out.

Using the control panel
Power

water. To do so, open the door on the 
back of the espresso machine (3) and 
simply slide out the water reservoir (4). 
Then fill with fresh cold water or filtered 
water (5). Replace the water reservoir 
firmly and shut the door.
4. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V 
AC power outlet and switch the power on. 
Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the 
espresso machine on (6). The light above 
the ‘POWER’ button will illuminate green 
and start flashing, this is to indicate that 
your espresso machine is on and is heating 
up.
  When the green light above the ‘POWER’ 
button stops flashing and turns to a 
constant red light, this indicates that the 
espresso machine is heated and ready to 
use. The lights above the ‘MANUAL’,   
single and   double espresso buttons will 
also show a constant green light (7).
Note: Before turning on the espresso machine 
ensure that the steam and hot water control 
dials are in the OFF position.
5. Place glasses and cups on the warming 
plate (8).
Important: For first time use or if the machine 
has not been used for some time, it is 
important that the machine is rinsed as 
follows:
6. Fit the group handle with either the single 
or double filter basket (9). Secure the 
group handle to the group head (10) (11).
7. Place a sufficiently large container under 
both pouring spouts (12).
8. Once the espresso machine is switched 
on and heated, so the light above the 
‘POWER’ button is red and the lights above 
the ‘MANUAL’,   single and   double 
espresso buttons show a constant green 
light, the espresso machine is heated and 
ready to use.
Tip: Remember if the ‘POWER’ light is 
flashing green, this indicates that the 
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
9.  Press the ‘MANUAL’ button (13) and allow 
the water to run through until the water 
reservoir is empty.
Note: As a safety mechanism the espresso 
machine is programmed to automatically stop 
the water flow after 240mls, therefore you 
will need to press the ‘MANUAL’ button again 
to restart the water flow.

Guide to the perfect espresso
Preheat Glasses
1. Preheat the glasses/cups by filling them 
with hot water as this will assist to preserve 
the crema of the espresso. Set the glasses/
cups aside.
Preheat Group Handle and Filter Basket
2. Select the appropriate filter basket and 
place it into group handle (14).
3. Take the group handle, hold it under the 
group head and purge water. With the filter 
basket positioned under the group head 
press the ‘MANUAL’ button to start the 
water flow and press it again to stop (15).
4. Dry the filter basket.
Dosing and Tamping
5. Using a grinder or the measuring spoon 
supplied, place the appropriate amount of 
ground coffee into the filter basket (16).
6. Rest the group handle with the filter 
basket in position onto the benchtop. Take 
the coffee tamp, apply firm level packing 
pressure (17), twisting 90 degrees to 
polish the grounds. This seals the surface 
of the coffee cake.
7. Brush any excess coffee grounds from 
around the edge of the filter basket (18).
Important: Be sure to place a sufficient 
amount of coffee grinds into the filter basket. 
Once tamped the level of coffee should be 
only a few millimetres below the rim of the 
filter basket. To check this, lock the group 
handle onto the group head (19)(20). Then 
without having made a coffee remove the 
group handle (25) and inspect the top of 
the tamped coffee - it should have only a 
slight indent from the shower screen. Ideally 
the top of the tamped coffee should be 
fractionally below the shower screen and then 
during the espresso pour the coffee cake will 
expand up and onto the shower screen.
Tip: The coffee dosage and the degree of 
tamping should remain the same every time 
you make a coffee the only thing that should 
vary is the particle size of the coffee grounds 
and this will vary depending on the bean. For 
example to achieve a slower espresso pour 
rate use a finer grind and a coarser grind for 
a faster espresso pour rate.
Note: If purchasing pre-ground coffee or have 
someone grind it for you, request/purchase a 
very fine grind, the same that would be used 
for a commercial epresso machine
Tip: Ensure the coffee tamp is dry because if 
it is wet the coffee grinds will stick to it.
The Espresso Pour
8. Lock the group handle onto the group head 
(19)(20).
9. Empty the glasses/cups and place below 
the pouring spouts (21).
Note: Check to see that the espresso 
machine is ready for use, remember that 
if the ‘POWER’ light is flashing green, this 
indicates that the espresso machine is on 
and is heating up.
10. Press the required volume button; 
‘MANUAL’ for a continuous pour (22), 
the   single espresso for a 30ml pour 
(23) or the   double espresso for a 
60ml pour (24).
Note: When using the ‘MANUAL’ operation 
the coffee maker must press the button 
once to start the pour and again to stop the 
pour. However with the   single and    
double espresso operations the coffee maker 
need only to press these buttons once to 
start the espresso pour and the program 
will automatically stop the pour at the pre-
programmed level.

Heading
Guide to the perfect espresso continued
Important: Should coffee grinds come out 
from the top of the group handle this is a 
sign that the group handle has not been 
firmly locked into position and/or the level of 
coffee in the basket is too high.
Pre-Infusion
11. Once an espresso operation has been 
activated, before the espresso pour starts 
the pre-infusion feature will release three 
short bursts of gradually increasing water 
pressure onto the coffee cake. After this, 
the full water pressure is applied to the 
coffee cake and the espresso will pour 
freely.
12. Check the espresso pour. The ideal 
pour starts out dark and then soon 
after becomes caramel with reddish 
reflections. The pour should hang 
vertically on each spout and flow slowly 
like dripping honey.
Tip: The espresso gauge provides an 
indication of the resistance created by 
the dosing of the filter basket and the 
particle size of the grind. Referring to the 
gauge will be a sign that one or both of 
these elements may need adjusting.
Tip: Once the espresso pour starts to lighten 
in colour you should cut off the pour.
13. Serve espresso immediately.
Caring for your Espresso Machine
14. Remove the group handle from the group 
head (25).
15. Discard the used coffee grinds from the 
filter basket (26).
Tip: After each use of the espresso machine 
we recommend that a small amount of 
water is cycled through the group head as 
this will wash out any old or used coffee 
grinds stuck to the underside of the 
group head. Simply press the ‘MANUAL’ 
button and allow some water to run 
through.
Sleep Mode
After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine 
will automatically switch to ‘SLEEP MODE’. 
An indication that the machine is in ‘SLEEP 
MODE’ is the light above the ‘POWER’  
button will slowly flash red. While in 'SLEEP 
MODE' the machine powers down to 70% of 
power. After a further 26 hours of non-use 
the espresso machine will turn off.
Note: To bring the espresso machine out of 
'SLEEP MODE' you can press any button.

Guide to milk texturing
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The 
steam does two things, heats the milk and 
also the steam mixes air with the milk to 
form an ‘emulsion’ of tiny bubbles that gives 
a silky velvet texture. Similar to making an 
espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing 
takes time and practice.
Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation for 
all espresso-coffee drinks and the milk is the 
variable.
1.  Determine how much milk is needed 
based on the number of cups being made 
or the size of the texturing jug.
Tip: Keep in mind that the volume of milk 
will increase or ’stretch’ during the texturing. 
2.  Pour cold refrigerated milk into a 
stainless steel jug, between   to ²/³ full.
Tip: Best results will be achieved by using a 
clean jug and cold, fresh milk.
3.  Purge the steam wand of any water. 
With the steam wand positioned over the 
drip tray activate the steam function by 
turning the steam control dial clockwise 
as far as it will go (35). Once any water 
has been purged close the steam by 
turning the steam control dial anti-
clockwise (36).
4.  Swing the steam wand to the side of the 
espresso machine (37).
5.  Place the steam wand into the milk 
so that the tip of the steam nozzle is 
just below the surface of the milk and 
activate the steam function by turning 
the steam control dial clockwise as far as 
it will go (38).
6.  Angle the jug so that the steam wand is 
resting on the spout of the jug and lower 
the jug until the tip of the steam nozzle 
is just below the surface of the milk. This 
will start to create a whirlpool action in 
the milk (39).
Note: How we introduce the air to the milk 
will determine the consistency of the foam. 
If we catch large gulps of air the quality of 
the foam will reflect this by having large 
bubbles. If we can introduce air to the milk 
in a controlled gentle fashion indicated by a 
gentle hissing sound the milk will have a fine 
aerated bead in the textured foam.
7.  As the steam heats and textures the milk, 
the level of the milk in the jug will begin 
to rise. As this happens follow the level 
of the milk by lowering the jug, always 
keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just 
below the surface. This will create a 
slight hissing noise.
Tip: The amount of foam required will vary 
depending on the drinks being made, for 
example a cappuccino requires more foam 
than a flat white.
8.  Close the steam immediately when the 
milk is heated to between 60-65°C 
by turning the steam control dial anti-
clockwise (40).
Tip: The optimum drinking temperature of 
milk is between 60-65°C and we advise 
you use a milk thermometer to achieve 
the correct temperature. It's important to 
remember that if the milk is not heated long 
enough the drink will be too cool and if the 
milk is heated for too long it will start to boil 
at around 72°C and all texture will be lost.
Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer a good 
indication that the correct temperature has 
been reached is when the jug becomes too 
hot to leave your fingers in contact.
Important: Do not boil the milk as the texture 
and taste will be affected.
9.  Remove the jug and wipe the steam nozzle 
and wand with a clean damp cloth (41).
10. With the jug in hand tap the jug on the 
bench top to release the trapped air 
bubbles. Agitate the milk as this helps 
the milk and froth combine for an even 
consistency.

26
HeadingUsing the hot water dispenser
The hot water dispenser is ideal for preparing 
long blacks, hot chocolate and filling coffee 
plungers. 
1. Swing the hot water wand to the side of 
the espresso machine.
2. Place the cup or container under the hot 
water nozzle and activate the hot water 
function by turning the hot water control 
dial anti-clockwise as far as it will go (42).
3. Once you have dispensed the required 
amount of hot water into the cup or 
container, close the hot water by turning 
the hot water control dial clockwise (43).
4. Remove the cup or container and swing the 
hot water wand over the drip tray to catch 
any drips of water (44).

Care and cleaning
The coffee making process involves extracting 
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso 
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over 
time and affect the taste of the coffee and 
operation of the espresso machine. 
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is 
essential and will maintain the quality of the 
coffee the espresso machine produces and 
result in less maintenance being required. 
This is easy to do by following a few quick 
and easy cleaning steps after each coffee 
making session;
   Cycle water through the group head,
   Purge steam through the steam wand,
    Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp 
cloth immediately after use,
    Remove the filter basket from the filter 
handle and clean away any old coffee oils, 
and 
    Empty the drip tray and rinse.
Important: Never wash any of the espresso 
machine parts or accessories in the 
dishwasher.
Drip tray and grill
Remove the grill and drip tray at regular 
intervals to empty (45) (46). Clean with 
water and a little non-abrasive washing up 
liquid, rinse and dry.
Group head, group handle & filter baskets
The filter baskets and group handle should 
be rinsed with warm water after each use and 
then dried thoroughly.
To clean the group head of any old coffee 
grinds cycle water through and wipe the 
group head and around the inside rim with a 
damp cloth.
Should the holes in the filter baskets become 
clogged with coffee grinds use a fine bristled 
brush to remove them. Also you can use 
the cleaning pin which is supplied with 
the espresso machine. The cleaning pin is 
attached to the cleaning disk, located on the 
inside of the back door (49). The cleaning 
pin has two pins at either end - one is 
labelled 'FILTER' and is the shorter of the 
two and is for cleaning out the holes in the 
filter basket.
Note: When cleaning the dual-floor filters 
be sure to check the single hole on the 
underside of the filter.
Group head rubber seal 
The group head seal is located on the 
underside of the group head and creates 
a seal against the filter handle during the 
espresso pour.
Note: During long periods of non-use we 
recommend that the filter handle not be 
left attached to the group head as this will 
reduce the life of the seal.
Over time the seal will loose its elasticity 
and require replacement, depending on use 
usually every 12 months. Signs that the seal 
is deteriorating are when the group handle 
cannot create the necessary seal and steam 
and or water escapes from around the group 
head during the espresso pour. Another sign 
may be when the group handle locks off to 
the right rather than the front.
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1300 881 861 
should you think that the group head seal 
needs replacing. Please do not attempt to 
change the seal without first consulting 
Sunbeam.
Cup warming plate, hot water wand and exterior
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and 
wipe dry. Do not use abrasives or metal 
scourers as these will scratch the exterior 
surface.

Care and cleaning continued
Steam wand 
Keeping the steam arm clean is essential 
to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam 
function. A build up of caramelised/dried 
milk on the steam wand will impair the 
steaming and texturing ability of the espresso 
machine.
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a 
damp cloth immediately after each use and 
purge a small amount of steam.
Should the milk dry/caramelise on the 
steam wand, simply wrap the wand with 
a clean damp cloth, turn the steam wand 
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for 
approximately 10 seconds (47). With the 
cloth still on the steam wand leave to soak 
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 attached to 
the cleaning disk located on the inside of the 
back door of the espresso machine (49). The 
cleaning pin has two pins at each end - one 
pin is labelled 'STEAM' and is the longer of 
the two. With the cleaning pin insert it into 
the hole in the base of the steam nozzle 
(48). 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 
at a minimum 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 (49).

31
Cleaning the group head continued
3.  Should the group 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 group handle with the double 
filter basket (50).
6.  Position the cleaning disc into the double 
filter basket (51).
7.  Place a Sunbeam Espresso Machine 
Cleaning Tablet (EM0020) into the filter 
basket that is now also fitted with the 
cleaning disc (52) and secure the group 
handle to the group head (53) (54).
8.  Place a sufficiently large container under 
both pouring spouts (55).
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 
no lights will be illuminated on the espresso 
machine control panel.
10. Simultaneously press and hold down 
the   single and   double espresso 
buttons. While still holding down the   
single and   double espresso buttons 
briefly press the ‘POWER’ button. As the 
lights on the control panel start to chase 
from left to right release the   single and 
 double espresso buttons.
Note: The lights on the control panel will 
continue to chase until the cleaning cycle is 
completed, this will take approximately 10 
minutes.
Note: During the cleaning cycle all other 
espresso machine operations will be locked 
until the cleaning cycle is completed. Should 
the cleaning cycle be accidentally started 
it can be cancelled by switching the power 
‘OFF’ at the power outlet. 
11. When the cleaning cycle is completed 
the lights on the control panel will stop 
chasing and the espresso machine will 
beep 4 times. Following this, the lights 
above the 'POWER', 'MANUAL', single 
 and   double espresso buttons will 
come on, signalling that the machine is 
ready to use.
12. Remove the container from under the 
pouring spouts and empty.
13. Remove the group handle from the group 
head (56).
14. Remove the cleaning disc from the group 
handle and return to storage position on 
the inside of the back door. 
15. Remove the double filter basket from the 
group handle and wash in warm soapy 
water. Rinse well and dry.
16. The espresso machine is now ready  
for use. 

32
Descaling
Scale is a surface build up of minerals that 
naturally occur over time in all appliances 
that are involved with the heating of water. 
Therefore the espresso machine will require 
occasional descaling. It is recommended 
that the espresso machine is descaled every 
4-6 months, this will vary depending on the 
frequency of use and water hardness.
Descaling solution
Use any of the following when descaling the 
espresso machine:
   Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling 
Tablets (EM0010)
   Sunbeam Liquid Descaler (KE0100), or
   Vinegar Solution.
Descaling the espresso machine
Note: Ensure the espresso machine is turned 
off and the power cord is unplugged.
1. Remove the water reservoir and rinse clean. 
Depending on the descaling solution being 
used use one of the following:
A.  Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling 
Tablets 
  Fill the water reservoir with 1 litre of warm 
water and place a descaling tablet into the 
reservoir. Once the tablet has dissolved 
replace the reservoir, this takes about 5-7 
minutes.
B. Sunbeam Liquid Descaler
  Fill the water reservoir with approximately 
1.5 litres of water, add 1 capful of 
Sunbeam Liquid Descaler and replace the 
reservoir.
C. Vinegar solution
  Fill the water reservoir with approximately 
1.5 litres of warm water, add 3 tablespoons 
of vinegar and replace the reservoir.
2. Should the group handle be attached to 
the group head remove it, rinse thoroughly 
under running water and set aside.
3. Using a screwdriver unscrew the brewing 
filter/shower screen from the underside of 
the group head.
4. Remove and set aside the filter/screen and 
screw in a safe place.
Important: Be careful not to lose the 
filter/screen and screw once you have 
disassembled the group head.
5. Place a sufficiently large container under 
the group head. 
6. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC 
power outlet and switch the power ‘ON’. 
Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the 
espresso machine on.
Note: Remember if the ‘POWER’ light

machine is programmed to automatically stop 
the water flow after 240mls, therefore you 
will need to press the ‘MANUAL’ button again 
to restart the water flow.

Descaling continued
Note: Depending on the size of the container 
under the group head on occasion this may 
need to be emptied throughout this process.
8.  After half the solution has cycled through 
press the ‘MANUAL’ button to stop the 
flow and then press the ‘POWER’ button 
to turn the machine off.
9.  Leave the machine off for 10-15 minutes 
to allow the descaler solution to take 
affect.
10. Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn 
the espresso machine on. 
11. Press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow the 
remaining solution to cycle through the 
group head.

the other 4 settings indicating the current 
setting. 
Note: This light will remain on for up to 5 
seconds before automatically returning to 
the Factory Setting if no action is taken. The
