Running the descaling program
The descaling program 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 espresso machine should be descaled at regular intervals of 4 – 6 months, at the latest however when you are instructed to do so by the display indication
<<DESCALING REQUIRED>>.
The descaling process is carried out in 2 phases, takes 45 minutes and should not be interrupted. If the program is interrupted, the descaling process has to be started again.
Important: Prior to starting the descaling program, 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. Do not, under any circumstances use vinegar, citric acid, amidosulphuric acid or descalants containing amidosulphuric acid, as these agents can damage the espresso machine.
