Sunbeam EM8800 - Manual (Page 30)

Note: When the espresso machine is turned
on it will go through an Auto Clean cycle.
This removes any old coffee grinds from the
coffee brewing unit.
The coffee making process involves extracting
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over
time and affect the taste of the coffee and
operation of the espresso machine.
Regular cleaning of the Café Barista™
guarantees a constant coffee quality and a
trouble-free operation.
Regular cleaning
Important: Switch the espresso machine off
before cleaning. Let the espresso machine
cool down. Do not use scratching, scouring
or corrosive agents. Clean the housing inside
and outside with a damp cloth only.
Important: Never put the espresso machine
or parts of the espresso machine into the
dishwasher.
Important: Never pour water into the coffee
bean hopper as you will damage the grinding
mechanism.
Important: To prevent damage to the espresso
machine do not use alkaline cleaning agents
when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild
detergent.
• Clean the drip tray, cup resting grid,
coffee waste container and water reservoir
with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly, be sure to rinse the water
reservoir with fresh water.
• Remove the coffee bean hopper from time
to time, dispose of the coffee residue and
give it a wipe to remove the film of oil from
the coffee beans.
• Empty drip tray regularly. However be
sure to take note of the red floating level
indicator, once which appears through
the cup resting grid, empty the drip tray
immediately.
• The steam nozzle and frothing attachment
need to be cleaned after each frothing
process. To clean the steam nozzle, simply
wipe clean with a damp cloth. When using
the frothing attachment, after each use
remove it from the steam nozzle and clean
thoroughly in warm water to remove milk
remains. Additionally, should the air inlet
at the base of the steam nozzle become
blocked, open it using a pin or a thin piece
of wire.
