Functions of your Bar Espresso continued
• 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 steam function can be used for texturing/
frothing milk or heating liquids.
Important: There is a risk of scalding when
the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or
hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the
steam wand/arm when it is immersed in the
milk.
• 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 jug to
no more than ¹/
³
full.
Tip: For best results we recommend using
refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug
that is well chilled. Be sure not to rinse the
jug with warm water before use.
• When the Sunbeam Bar Espresso is the
right temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’
light will go out.
• Hold the jug under the steam wand/arm
so that the nozzle opening is completely
immersed in the milk. Turn the operating
dial to the
setting to activate the steam
and commence texturing the milk (20).
Tip: For instructions on how to froth/
texture milk refer to section 'Easy steps for
texturing milk'.
• 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.
Note: The nozzle must not touch the
bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam
release is not obstructed.
• Move the jug so that the steam wand/arm
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.
• Cease steaming when the jug becomes too
hot to continue holding the palm of your
hand against the side. Simply turn the
operating dial to the
’off’ position and
remove the jug.
Note: Do not boil the milk.
