Care and cleaning  
Note: Ensure your coffee maker is unplugged  
and allowed to cool down before cleaning.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
