Care and Cleaning (continued)
Brew head rubber seal
This seal is located in the brewing head and
creates a seal against the filter handle when
making an espresso.
Note: When your Sunbeam Café Crema
®
II is
not being used, we recommend that you do not
leave the filter handle attached to the machine
as this will reduce the life of the seal.
Over time this seal loses its elasticity and
will require replacement – usually every 6-12
months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating are
when: the filter handle rotates to the far right
and feels loose, or steam escapes from around
the brewing head during use.
The cup warming plate and exterior
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and wipe
dry. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as
these will scratch the exterior surface.
Steam wand
The steam wand needs to be cleaned each
time you texture milk or heat any other liquid.
To clean the steam wand, wipe with a damp
cloth and for the froth attachment, simply rinse
it under warm water.
Note: After each use we recommend that a
small amount of steam is purged from the
steam wand.
On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly
cleaning the steam wand.
To do this soak the wand/arm in water with the
stainless jug resting on the drip tray. Ensure
that the water level in the jug is over the wand.
Run steam through the wand for 30 seconds,
then leave to soak overnight.
In the morning turn the machine on and run
steam through the wand again for 30 seconds.
Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Important: Should your steam wand become
blocked, supplied with your espresso machine
is a cleaning wire.
The cleaning wire for the steam wand is located
under the base of the water reservoir (37).
With the cleaning wire insert it into the hole in
the base of the steam wand (38).
Should the steam wand remain blocked
unscrew the steam nozzle from the steam arm
(39). Clean the steam nozzle by once again
using cleaning wire and then flush under
running water.
