please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer
products, but it is essential that the product user
also exercise care when using an electrical
appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot
gas flame, electric element or on a heated
oven. Do not place on top of any other
appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance
hang over the edge of a table or bench top or
touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. If
damage is suspected, return the appliance
to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service
Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

Moka Coffee guide
For best results regardless of the amount or
strength of coffee being made, the stainless
steel filter needs to be completely filled with
ground coffee. Using the measuring spoon
supplied, this is approximately 6 level scoops
of ground coffee.
Number of coffee’s Water quantity
made (35mLs)
1 80mLs
2 110mLs
3 145mLs
4 180mLs
5 215mLs
6 250mLs
For a softer tasting coffee we recommend
that using the measuring spoon supplied that
you fill the stainless steel filter with only 4
level scoops of ground coffee and to produce
6 cups of coffee fill the base with 250mLs
of water.

Troubleshooting guide

Important: Before cleaning the caffé maker
ensure that the appliance has cooled down.
Always disconnect the caffé maker from the
power outlet before cleaning.
Never immerse the caffé maker switch area,
cord or power base in water, or allow moisture
to come into contact with these parts.
As the coffee making process involves
extracting oils out of coffee grinds, deposits
of these oils build up over time and affect
the taste of the coffee and operation of the
caffé maker. Cleaning to remove these oils is
essential to ensure the caffé maker continues
to produce good tasting coffee and to keep it
operating effectively.
Stainless steel filter
The stainless steel filter should be washed
after each use by rinsing it under warm
water. Firstly remove the used coffee grinds
from the filter by simply turning the filter
upside down and spoon out the used coffee
grinds into bin, see figure 9. Wash at regular
intervals in warm soapy water using a mild
detergent.
Should the holes in the filter become clogged
with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush
and if necessary clean using a pin.
Upper caffé chamber filter
The filter located in the underside of the
upper caffé chamber also needs cleaning
at regular intervals. Should the holes in the
filter become clogged with coffee granules,
clean using warm soapy water and a fine
bristled brush and if necessary clean using a
pin, see figure 10.
Upper caffé chamber rubber seal
This seal is located in the underside of the
upper caffé chamber and creates a seal
against the base of the caffé maker when
making coffee.
Over time this seal looses its elasticity and
will require replacement. An indication
that the seal is deteriorating is when steam
escapes from around the base and the upper
caffé chamber during use.
Upper caffé chamber
The stainless steel upper caffé chamber may
be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water and dry.
The brushed stainless steel exterior
The stainless steel surface may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
Note: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the caffé maker, as these will scratch the
stainless steel surface.
