Starting the cleaning programme (continued)

Important: The coffee waste container indicator will remain illuminated while the cleaning process is running. The programme carries out 6 cycles with fresh water flushing. Pause times are for the cleaning tablet to take effect. In case of a power failure the programme has to be started again.

•The cleaning process is finished after approximately 8 minutes and when the ‘CLEAN’ indicator is illuminated and the coffee waste container indicator flashes.

•Empty the coffee waste container and reinsert it so that the coffee waste container indicator extinguishes. Turn the coffee bean hopper to the desired position and fill the water reservoir.

•Press the one cup or two cup coffee button and discard/pour away this first cup after running the cleaning programme. You are now ready for operation again.

Important: Take care when removing the coffee waste container as the water may be hot.

Starting the descaling programme

The descaling programme allows for simple and effective descaling of the espresso machine. Scale is a surface build up of minerals that naturally occur over time in all appliances that are involved with the heating of water.

The Café Barista™ should be descaled at regular intervals of 4 – 6 months, at the latest however when the ‘DESCALE’ indicator begins flashing. The descaling process is carried out in 2 phases, takes 45 minutes and should not be interrupted. If the programme is interrupted, the descaling process has to be started again.

Important: Prior to starting the descaling programme, clean the coffee brewing unit and empty the coffee waste container.

Important: Use Sunbeam descaling tablets only. If using other descaling agents, Sunbeam will not be liable for any damage. Never use vinegar, citric acid or sulfamic acid

or descaling agents containing sulfamic acid as these agents may damage the espresso machine.

Sunbeam descaling tablets are available from selected appliance retailers or from Sunbeam on 1800 025 059.

Phase 1: Descaling

•Fill the water reservoir with approximately 400mL of warm water until the level is just below the grooves of the reservoir lid and put a descaling tablet into the reservoir. See figure 59. Re-insert the reservoir when the tablet has dissolved, this takes about 5 -7 minutes.

•Pull the empty coffee waste container out and position below the espresso pour spout so that the descaling solution is collected in the coffee waste container. The coffee waste container indicator will illuminate as long as the container is pulled out. See figure 60.
