Care and cleaning
Note: Ensure your coffee maker is unplugged
and allowed to cool down before cleaning.
Lift the lid and remove the permanent mesh
filter using the handle. The filter holder can
also be removed for thorough cleaning.
Clean the removable permanent mesh filter,
filter holder and glass carafe in warm soapy
water.
Note: Do not use a dishwasher as the hot
temperatures reached may distort the
plastic. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
powders.
To clean the main body of the coffee maker,
wipe with a damp cloth or sponge and wipe
dry. Do not immerse the main body in water
or any other liquid.
Descaling your coffee maker
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
scale build up to form in your coffee maker,
which is normal. Therefore periodically your
coffee maker will require cleaning to remove
any calcium or mineral deposits that may
form. We recommend regular descaling every
2 months. You will know when your coffee
maker requires descaling as there will be an
obvious increase in brewing time.
To remove this build up, use Sunbeam Liquid
Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner
available from Sunbeam appointed Service
Agents and selected Retailers.
Alternatively, prepare a solution of 1
tablespoon of white vinegar and 500ml
of water. Pour the solution into the water
reservoir, switch the coffee maker on and
allow the solution to filter through to remove
any build up.
Note: Do not use filter paper or coffee during
this process.
Repeat this process in the case of heavy
scale build up.
After descaling, fill the water reservoir with
clean, cold tap water and filter the water
through the coffee maker to clean any
residue solution. Repeat if necessary.
