Descaling

After continued use, your espresso machine may develop a build-up of mineral deposits. Thus your machine will require occasional ‘descaling’.

We recommend that you descale your machine every 2-3 months, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use of the machine.

Descaling solution

Use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, which is available at any Sunbeam Service Centre listed at www.sunbeam.com.au. Alternatively, dissolve 3 tablespoons of vinegar in two litres of lukewarm water.

Descaling the espresso machine

Note: Ensure that the espresso machine is turned off and the power cord is unplugged.

1.Remove the water reservoir from the machine and if necessary empty any water.

2.Remove the drip tray and place it out of the way.

3.Remove the group handle from the machine and rinse it thoroughly under running water and set aside.

4.Place a cloth/tea towel on the bench and carefully turn the machine upside down. The machine should now be on the warming plate resting on the cloth/tea towel.

5.Using a screwdriver, unscrew the shower screen from the brewing head.

6.Remove the shower screen from the centre hold using the tip of a fork or skewer. Wash the shower screen in hot soapy water, rinse and dry well. Set aside in a safe place with the screw and the blue rubber seal.

7.Using a small brush, scrub in and around the area of the brewing head, removing all coffee granules.

8.Wipe down the steam wand with a small brush.

Note: Follow the steps on page 16 'Cleaning the steam wand' for a more thorough cleaning procedure.

9.Turn the machine upright, so that it is now sitting correctly on the bench.

10.Fill the water reservoir with water to the 'MAX' line and add 1 capful of Sunbeam Liquid Descaler or, alternatively fill the water reservoir with the vinegar solution. Place the water reservoir onto the espresso machine.

11.Place a large container under the brewing head and another container under the steam wand.

12.Insert the power plug into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power ‘On’.

13.When the power button is completely illuminated, turn the dial to the espresso

setting. Run through about ¹/³ of the liquid immediately and return the dial to the off () position.

14.Turn the dial around to the steam ( ) position and move the steam wand over the drip tray.
