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. Fill reservoir with only clean and cold water. Observe the maximum filling volume is 2.5 litres.
•Do not remove the filter handle during the espresso pour or water flow as the unit is under pressure. Removing the filter handle during either of these operations can lead to a scalding or injury.
•The steam wand becomes very hot during texturing milk and water flow. This may cause
burns in case of contact, therefore avoid any direct contact with the steam wand.
•Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet prior to cleaning the espresso machine or if there is any problem during the coffee making process.
•Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with the hot parts of the espresso machine, including the cup warming plate and steam wand.
•Do not place hands directly under the steam, hot water or coffee pour as this can lead
to a scalding or injury.
Sunbeam is 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 by children or infirm persons.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
•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.
•Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been 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.

15 Bar Pump |
Crema System |
|
|
|
|
The machine is fitted with an Italian designed and manufactured 15 BAR pump which generates the pressure required to deliver a complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma.
Thermoblock Heating System
The thermoblock heating system heats the water ensuring the precise temperature is achieved for each function. Additionally, the one-piece construction and stainless steel tubing of the thermoblock effectively slows scale build up and reduces the frequency of cleaning required.
Pre-Infusion
Progressive pre-infusion is programmed into the espresso operation. It is a gradual increase of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake before full water pressure is applied. This in turn delivers greater body and sweetness to the espresso.
The specially designed crema system consists of a dual-floor filter creating additional back pressure and a stabilising baffle that helps retain temperature and produces a steady pour of espresso. The dual-floor filter baskets are designed to slow the flow of liquid espresso creating a subtle aeration to ensure a golden crema.
Push Button Control Panel
An easy to use control panel enables manual operation of espresso coffee as well as steam and hot water functions. The user is also able to personalise and save their own settings for coffee temperature, steam temperature and steam flow.
