Descaling
Mineral deposits built-up in the unit will affect
the operation of the appliance. Your appliance
must be descaled when you begin to notice an
increase in the time required to brew espresso,
or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you
may notice a build-up of white deposits on
the surface of the brew head. The frequency
of cleaning depends upon the hardness of
the water used. The following table gives the
suggested cleaning intervals.
Suggested Cleaning Intervals
To Descale Water Reservoir
Use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, a simple to
use, non toxic cleaner available from Sunbeam
appointed Service Agents.
1. Fill the reservoir with fresh, undiluted white
household vinegar.
2. Allow appliance to sit overnight with the
vinegar solution in the water reservoir.
3. Discard vinegar by removing the reservoir and
turning it upside down over the sink.
4. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with
tap water by filling tank half full with water
and then pouring the water back out into the
sink, repeating this step twice.

To Descale Internal Parts
1. Make sure you descale the inside of
the water reservoir first by following the
“descaling” steps above.
2. Make sure to switch the on/off button to
the off “O” position and the power cord is
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Fill the reservoir half way with white vinegar.
3. Insert the porta-filter (with filter and no
coffee) and place jar/carafe or regular cup on
top of the drip tray and under the porta-filter.
4. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
5. Press the on/off button to switch the
unit on “I”, once the 3 control panel
illuminates solidly, press the Espresso/
Custom Button “
” twice. The vinegar will
start flowing through the unit and it will stop
automatically.
6. Place a pitcher or large cup (with at least
325 mL/11-ounce capacity) under the tube.
Fill the milk reservoir with water and place
it back on the unit. Turn the Froth Control
Knob clockwise to the clean position “
”
then press the latte/clean button “
” for
3 seconds to activate the clean function.
The unit will start releasing steam through
the frothing tube for 30 seconds. When
done, throw the contents of the cup away.
7. Repeat Steps 1 – 6 as necessary using only
tap water to rinse any remaining traces of
vinegar out of the machine.
