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.
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.
•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.
•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.

About espresso coffee
The Sunbeam Café Crema is the ultimate espresso machine for people who really appreciate fine coffee. With its robust metal design, powerful 15 BAR pump and ‘Thermoblock’ heating system, the Sunbeam Café Crema will provide many enjoyable 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 ‘Thermoblock’ heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavour is extracted.
Secondly, the combination of the 15 BAR pump, 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. Hence the name, Sunbeam Café Crema.
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Café Crema. Should you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the Sunbeam coffee hotline on free call 1800 025 059.

Features of your Sunbeam Café Crema
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.
‘Thermoblock’ 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.
