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 litres.

•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.

Thermoblock Fast Heating System

Italian Crema System

DUAL

WALL

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 espresso extracts at 92°C

(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

15 BAR

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.

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.

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.
