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 group 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 drip tray and grill at regular intervals to empty (35) (36). Clean with water and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse and dry.

Over time it is normal for the inside of the drip tray to be stained by the oils in the coffee.

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 tool is located behind the water reservoir and drip tray (37). The cleaning tool has two pins at either end. One is the thinner and shorter of the two and is for cleaning out the hole in the filter basket. Insert the cleaning pin into the single hole in the base of the filter (38).

Group head rubber seal

The group head seal is located on the underside of the group head and creates a seal against the group handle during the espresso pour.

Note: During long periods of non-use we recommend that the group handle not be left attached to the group head as this will reduce the life of the seal.

Over time the seal will lose 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.
