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
2litres.
• Do not remove the Group Handle during the
espresso pour or water flow as the unit is
under pressure. Removing the Group Handle
during either of these operations can lead to
a scalding or injury.
• The Steam & Hot Water 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 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 the Steam & Hot Water Wand.
• Do not place hands directly under the steam,
hot water or espresso pour as this can lead to
a scalding or injury.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may
be high when the appliance is operating. Even
after use, the heating element surface is
subject to residual heat after use.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use. Injury could occur
from misuse.
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.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be
high when the appliance is operating.
• 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.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
• This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such
as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and

Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up,
and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk texturing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a
PID controller which continually monitors
the water temperature to ensure water is
always delivered to the coffee grinds at the
precise temperature needed.
An espresso is made with hot rather than
boiling water. The thermoblock heats the
water so that the
(just below boiling point) for optimum
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
Temperatures above this will burn the
grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
espresso extracts at 92°C
Italian Crema System
WALL
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional
back pressure creating a subtle aeration
for a great espresso extraction and steady
pour. They ensure a rich velvety espresso
with a signature layer of golden crema.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed for
use with pre-ground grinds, however they
can also be used with freshly ground grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a
great espresso. Just select ONE or TWO
CUP on the DIAL, and it pours just the right
amount, then automatically stops.
15
The thermoblock works in conjunction
with the pump to deliver the correct water
temperature at the correct pressure for
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids
and aroma.
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a pressure
relief system, to limit the pressure to 15
bar (for protection from over-pressure).
After extraction, when the DIAL is
returned to the vertical READY position,
any remaining pressure will be released
(purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion
Small amounts of water are released onto
the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady
flow of water, for a richer flavoured espresso.

Café 58mm Group Head & Handle
58
The Group Head and the Group Handle are
commercial sized, 58mm, just like your
local café.
The larger 58mm Group Handle holds
more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café
tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the
grinds are more evenly spread and easier
to fill, for improved flavour extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow
a more consistent grind compaction,
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an
easier to empty spent coffee cake.
