Sunbeam BVMC-ECMP1000, BVMC-ECMP1001W Troubleshooting Your Mr. Coffee Café Barista, Deliming

DELIMING

Mineral deposits built-up in the unit will affect the operation of the appliance. Your appliance must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time required to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you may notice a build-up of white deposits on the surface of the brew head.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVALS

Type of Water	Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water (Filtered Water)	Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water (Tap Water)	Every 40 Brew Cycles

TO DELIME WATER RESERVOIR:

1.Fill the reservoir with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar.

2.Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the water reservoir.

3.Discard vinegar by removing the reservoir and turning it upside down over the sink.

4.Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water and then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.

TO DELIME INTERNAL PARTS:

1.Make sure you delime the inside of the water reservoir first by following the “Deliming” steps above.

2.Make sure to switch the on/off button to the off “O” position and the power cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet. Fill the reservoir half way with white vinegar.

3.Insert the porta-filter (with filter and no coffee) and place jar/carafe or regular cup on top of the drip tray and under the porta-filter.

4.Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

5.Press the on/off button to switch the unit on “I”, once the 3 control panel illuminates solidly, press the the Espresso/Custom Button twice. The vinegar will start flowing through the unit and it will stop automatically.

6.Place a pitcher or large cup (with at least 325 mL/ 11-ounce capacity) under the tube. Fill the milk reservoir with water and place it back on the unit. Turn the Froth Control Knob clockwise to the clean position “ ” then press the latte/clean button for 3 seconds to activate the clean function. The unit will start releasing steam through the frothing tube for 30 seconds. When done, throw the contents of the cup away.

7.Repeat Steps 1 – 6 as necessary using only tap water to rinse any remaining traces of vinegar out of the machine.
