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 3 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 and hot water tap become 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 or hot water tap.
•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, hot water tap 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.

Required Espresso Pressure
The 15 BAR Italian pump produces the required pressure for brewing espresso consistently. Fitted with a pressure relief system, ensures that any remaining pressure after the extraction is released into the drip tray, allowing for quick, successive brews.
Temperature Stability
Independent thermoblock heating systems are lined with stainless steel and fitted with PID technology, controlling the water temperature from the thermoblock to
the group head, ensuring only the most appreciated characteristics of espresso are exposed - TASTE, BODY and AROMA.
Twin Pump & Thermoblock
True to commercial use, the unique twin pumps and twin thermoblocks allows the coffee maker to texture milk and pour an espresso simultaneously.
Should the needle fail to reach the target area this is an indication that the serve of espresso is ‘under-extracted’. This occurs when water passes too quickly through the tamped coffee grinds and is an indication that either the grind needs to be made finer or the filter basket has been under-dosed. The pour is quick and light in colour and the resulting crema is thin with a creamy light brown colour.

Espresso Gauge
The espresso gauge is an indicator of the quality of the espresso pour and should be used as a guide.
It measures the pressure or resistance created by water being pumped through the tamped coffee grinds in the group handle.
Whilst the needle is within the target area on the gauge it indicates that a quality serve of espresso has been made. This is indicated by a slow, but flowing pour of espresso with a consistency similar to that of dripping honey. The crema should be dark golden in colour.
When the needle goes beyond the target area it is an indication that the serve of espresso is ‘over-extracted’. This occurs when the water passes very slowly through the tamped coffee grinds and is an indication that either the grind is too fine or the filter basket has been over-dosed. In this situation the hot water is in contact with the coffee grinds for too long thus creating a burnt and bitter tasting espresso. This is characterised by the espresso only slowly dripping during the entire pour and the crema is very dark.

Milk Temperature Gauge
The 4 BAR steam pump produces instant, constant steam pressure for texturing milk. An important factor when creating milk foam is temperature. The steam wand integrates a patented temperature sensing device that relays the temperature of the milk during texturing to the milk temperature gauge on the control board.
As most coffees are milk based, this highlights the importance of getting the milk right. The end product should be smooth, velvety with none or barely visible bubbles. Milk textured to the optimum temperature improves and sweetens the taste.
Commercial Size Group Head & Group Handle
The group head, group handle and filters are designed to commercial specifications using brass and stainless steel components. These elements help contribute to the preparation of an espresso serve, as it allows the coffee maker to pack the necessary amount of coffee grinds, which then expand firmly and evenly onto the shower screen.
The sloping group handle gives the coffee maker a more ergonomic action when attaching and removing the handle from the group head. Also when rested on the bench the filter basket sits level, this results in a more even tamp ensuring an even extraction. The under-side of the basket has a tamping pad so the coffee maker can locate the group handle onto the side of the bench and once again ensures the basket sits level.

Control Board
Slightly angled for easy viewing, the control board communicates the essential
information the coffee maker needs to create a great tasting coffee. Also housing a large, easy to use push buttons for espresso and programming functions, the coffee maker
is provided with the choice of ‘MANUAL’ operation or using either of the programmed coffee pour volumes for 1 or 2 cups. The programmed espresso pour is set to 30mls per cup while the PROGRAM function allows users to personalise and save their own espresso volumes.
Anti-Calc Filter
An Anti-Calc water filter reduces impurities that taint the flavour and odour of the water, improving the taste and aroma of the espresso brewed. Additionally, scale build up is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning required.
The Anti-Calc water filter fitted inside the 3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life for domestic use and a 3 month life for commercial use.
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1300 881 861 for replacement filters (Part code: EM69101).
Pre-Infusion
There are 3 programmable pre-infusion settings to help achieve the perfect extraction.
Pre-infusion is programmed into the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP espresso operations.
1.Constant - delivers a constant water temperature and flow from start to finish.
2.Progressive - small amounts of water are released onto the tamped coffee prior to a steady water flow.
2.Infusion - small amount of water is released onto the tamped coffee, then their is a short infusion time before a steady flow of water is released.
Note: The espresso machine can operate normally without the filter and is easily removed by gently pulling it out.

Using your espresso machine
Power
Press the POWER button once to turn the espresso machine on. The machine will beep once and the power button will flash red, this is to indicate that your machine is on and is heating up.
Note: Before turning on the espresso machine ensure that the steam and hot water control dials are in the OFF position.
When the machine has reached READY MODE, the power button will stop flashing and the POWER, MANUAL, 1 & 2 CUP buttons will illuminate red. The espresso machine is now ready to use.
Power Saving Mode
After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine will automatically switch to POWER SAVING MODE. Once the espresso machine is in POWER SAVING MODE all the lights on the buttons will dim. While in POWER SAVING MODE the espresso machine powers down to 75% of power. After a further 4 hours of non-use the espresso machine will beep once and then turn off.
To bring the espresso machine out of POWER SAVING MODE you simply need to press any of the buttons on the control board.
Using Manual Operation
The MANUAL button gives the coffee maker complete control over the length of the espresso pour.
To use this operation press the MANUAL button once to start the espresso pour. The pour will start with the pre-infusion and then the espresso pour will follow.
Press the MANUAL button again to stop the espresso pour.
Note: When using the MANUAL operation, the lights on the 1 & 2 cup buttons will go off and the lights on the POWER and MANUAL buttons will remain on.
