Sunbeam Bar Espresso EM3500, Instruction Booklet

Page: 16 / 28

• After each use of the espresso machine for
best results when making consecutive cups
of espresso we recommend that you flush a
small amount of water through the
machine. With the filter handle already
removed from the brewing head, simply
turn the operating dial to the
setting
and allow the water to run through until
you have a consistent flow of water. This
will wash out any old or used coffee grinds
stuck to the underside of the brewing head
and also helps ensure the correct water
temperature for your next shot of espresso.
• Once the orange ‘Warm Up’ light goes out
your machine is ready to make the next
espresso.
Note: Do not leave the filter handle locked
in position for extended periods, or when
machine is not in use. This shortens the
life of the brew head rubber seals.
2. STEAM FUNCTION
The froth enhancing attachment makes it
easy to produce textured milk.
Note: We recommend that you make the
espresso first, then steam the milk.
• Attach the froth enhancing attachment to
the end of the steam nozzle (19). You may
also choose to steam the milk without the
attachment.
Important: For the froth enhancing
attachment to work you must ensure that it
is pushed firmly onto the steam nozzle.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
with cold water.
• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light
and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both
illuminate.
• Swing the steam nozzle to the side of the
machine.
• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel
frothing jug to no more than 1 /
3
full.
Note: For best results we recommend to
use refrigerated milk and a stainless steel
jug that is well chilled.
• When the Bar Espresso is the right
temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’ light
will go out.
• Before inserting the steam nozzle into the
milk, activate the steam function to
remove any condensed water. To do this,
hold an empty glass or cloth under the
steam nozzle and turn the operating dial to
the
setting (20).
• Once only steam is coming out, quickly
insert the steam nozzle into the frothing
jug. Lower the jug so that the tip of the
steam nozzle is just below the surface of
the milk and place your hand on the side
of the jug.
Important: Do not allow the tip of the
nozzle to touch the bottom of the container
because this could obstruct the passage of
the steam.
• Move the frothing jug so that the steam
nozzle is to one side, this will create a
whirlwind motion to the milk. As the steam
heats the milk, the milk will begin to rise.
Follow the level of the milk by lowering the
jug, always keeping the tip of the steam
nozzle just below the surface.
