Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM
ESPRESSO MACHINE.
• Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
• Do not operate without water in reservoir.
• Do not remove the filter holder during water
flow or coffee flow as the unit is under
pressure. Removing the filter holder during
operation can lead to a scalding or injury.
• Clean the steam nozzle only when the unit has
been switched off and allowed to cool.
• Disconnect the plug from the power outlet if
there is any problem during the coffee making
process or prior to cleaning your appliance.
• Do not allow the power cord to come into
contact with the hot parts of the appliance
(cup warming plate, filter holder, steam
nozzle).
• Keep hands away from hot parts of the
appliance, including the cup warming plate,
filter holder and steam nozzle.

About espresso coffee
The Sunbeam range of espresso machines
are sure to satisfy lovers of coffee. With its
Italian designed and made 15 BAR pump, a
‘boiler’ heating system and Italian designed
‘crema’ system the Sunbeam Café Ristretto
™
will provide endless cups of quality coffee.
Coffee is an integral part of Australian
culture. With café numbers increasing, the
demand for the perfect cup combined with
the right atmosphere is the goal of many
coffee connoisseurs.
What makes a good coffee?
Sunbeam have consulted with experienced
coffee makers and appreciators of coffee
through every stage of design, to ensure the
machine delivers a great coffee every time.
There are many factors that contribute to the
perfect coffee. The words’ ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’
are consistently used when describing the
perfect cup.
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect
coffee is largely due to the correct
combination of temperature and pressure
during the brewing process. The ‘boiler’
heating system ensures the water is at the
correct temperature, so that the full coffee
flavour is extracted.
Secondly, the combination of the Italian
designed and made 15 BAR pump, Italian
designed dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle
ensures the correct pressure at which the liquid
espresso is released from the spout. The flow
should consist of both liquid and cream. This
cream is commonly known as the ‘crema’. The
perfect ‘crema’ should be thick and stable and
preserve the coffee flavour, aroma and
temperature.
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee
experiences with the Sunbeam Café Ristretto
™
.

15 BAR pump
The Italian designed and made 15 BAR pump, supplies the correct and essential pressure
necessary for full extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
‘Boiler’ heating system
Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. Espresso needs
to be made with hot, rather than boiling water. By heating
the water to 92°C (just below boiling point), it allows the
water to fully extract the oils from the coffee.
‘Crema’ system
Italian designed, the dual-wall
filter creates additional back
pressure and the stabilising
baffle produces a steady pour.
