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 Latte 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 looses 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/arm and froth attachment
The steam wand/arm and froth attachment
needs to be cleaned each time you texture
milk or heat any other liquid. To clean the
steam wand/arm, 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/arm.
On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly
cleaning the steam wand/arm.
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/
arm. Run steam through the wand/arm for 30
seconds, then leave to soak overnight.
In the morning turn the machine on and run
steam through the wand/arm again for 30
seconds.
Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Important: Should your steam wand/arm
become blocked, supplied with your espresso
machine is a cleaning wire.
The cleaning wire for the steam arm is the
BLACK pin located under the base of the water
reservoir (23) (24).
With the cleaning wire insert it into the hole in
the base of the steam wand/arm (25).
Should the steam wand/arm remain blocked,
using the measuring spoon/tamp unscrew the
steam nozzle from the steam arm (26). Clean
the steam nozzle by once again using cleaning
wire and then flush under running water.
