Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
FOR YOUR SUNBEAM THE COMPACT
BARISTA ESPRESSO MACHINE:
• Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
• Do not place in a cabinet when in use.
• Do not operate without water in water tank.
Fill water tank with filtered water. Observe
the maximum filling volume is 1 litre.
• 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 wand may become very hot during
milk texturing and water flow. This may cause
burns in case of contact. Therefore, avoid any
direct contact with the steam wand.
• Do not allow the power cord to come into
contact with the hot parts of the machine,
including the warming plate and steam 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.
• Always switch off and unplug at power outlet
before cleaning the espresso machine.
• Children should not perform cleaning and
user maintenance without supervision.
• Always switch off and unplug at power outlet
if there is any problem during the coffee
making process.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use. Injury could
occur from misuse.

DUAL
WALL
Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up,
and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk texturing.
15 BAR Pump
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).
Italian Crema System
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 preground coffee, however they can also be used
with freshly ground coffee.
Auto Shot and customisable volumetric
control
Right quantity of espresso in your cup
• Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a
great espresso. Press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP
buttons to pour the right amount.
