User Manual
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.
