After continued use, your espresso machine
may develop a build-up of mineral deposits,
and therefore require occasional ‘descaling’.
We recommend descaling your machine
every 4-6 months, although this period
will depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use.
Descaling Solution
You have 3 options:
A. Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets (EM0010).
or
B. Sunbeam Liquid Descaler (KE0100).
A & B Descaling options are available for
purchase
from Sunbeam. Details are on the
back page.
or
C. White vinegar & warm water.
Descaling Program
The Descaling Program takes approximately
10 minutes to complete.
Preparing for Descaling
• Fill Water Reservoir with Solution
A. Fill Water Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm
water add one Sunbeam Descaling Tablet.
Allow tablet to fully dissolve.
or
B. In an empty Water Reservoir add half a
cap full of Sunbeam Liquid Descaler. Fill
Water Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm water.
Allow solution to mix thoroughly.
or
C. In an empty Water Reservoir add 1½
tablespoons of white vinegar. Fill Water
Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm water. Allow
solution to mix thoroughly.
- Place the Water Reservoir into position.
• Place Containers
Place a 1 Litre container under Group Head
and another 1 Litre container under the
Steam Wand.
• Power
Ensure that:
- Operating DIAL is in the vertical READY
position.
- The Power Plug is inserted into the outlet
and turned on.
- The machine is ON and in the Ready state.
• Access the Descaling Program
- Press & hold the ON/OFF BUTTON
for 4 seconds or until a flashing light
combination between the ON/OFF & READY
LIGHTS begins.
Step 1. Steam Wand Descaling
- To start the Descaling Program turn the
DIAL to the STEAM position.
The ON/OFF & STEAM LIGHTS will now
start a flashing combination once every few
seconds.
The Pump will start and hot water will run
from the Steam Wand. Over a 2 minute
period the Pump will make different noises.
When the hot water has stopped being
released from the Steam Wand, this step
has finished.
The flashing light combination will change
to the ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS.
- Move to
Step 2.
Step 2. Group Head Descaling
- To continue turn the DIAL directly to the
ONE CUP position (do not stop at the ready
position).
The ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS will continue
a flashing combination once every few
seconds.
The Pump will start and hot water will
run from the Group Head. Over a 2 minute
period the Pump will make different noises.
When the hot water has stopped being
released from the Group Head, this step
has finished.
The flashing light combination will change
to the ON/OFF & STEAM LIGHTS.
- Move to
Preparing for Purge
section.
Preparing for Purge
The Steam Wand and Group Head now
need to be purged clean with fresh water to
remove descaling solution.
• Rinse Water Reservoir
Remove the Water Reservoir & rinse
thoroughly under running water, ensuring
that all traces of the descaling solution
have been removed.
• Fill Water Reservoir
Fill the Water Reservoir to the 'MAX' line
with clean water and replace.
• Empty Containers
Empty water from the containers and replace.
- Move to
Step 3.
Step 3. Steam Wand Purge

STEAM position (do not stop at the ready
position).
The ON/OFF & STEAM LIGHTS will continue
a flashing combination once every few
seconds.
The Pump will start and hot water will run
from the Steam Wand. Over a 2 minute
period the Pump will make different noises.
When the hot water has stopped being
released from the Steam Wand, this step
has finished.
The flashing light combination will change
to the ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS.
- Move to
Step 4.
Step 4. Group Head Purge
- To continue turn the DIAL directly to the
ONE CUP position (do not stop at the ready
position).
The ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS will continue
a flashing combination once every few
seconds.
The Pump will start and hot water will
run from the Group Head. Over a 2 minute
period the Pump will make different noises.
When the hot water has stopped being
released from the Group Head, the
Descaling Program has finished.
Complete
The ON/OFF LIGHT will be fully illuminated
and the READY LIGHT will flash to show the
Descaling Program has finished.
- Return the DIAL to the vertical READY
position.

Important:
If the Descaling Program
is not completed or stopped part way
through any of the Descaling Steps,
then you will need to start the Descaling
Program again from the beginning.
