Running The Descaling Program - Sunbeam Intuitive EM8910 Instruction Booklet

Running the descaling program

The descaling program allows for simple and
effective descaling of the espresso machine.
Scale is a surface build up of minerals that
naturally occur over time in all appliances
that are involved with the heating of water.
The espresso machine should be descaled
at regular intervals of 4 – 6 months, at the
latest however when you are instructed to do
so by the display indication
<<DESCALING REQUIRED>>.
The descaling process is carried out in 2
phases, takes 45 minutes and should not be
interrupted. If the program is interrupted, the
descaling process has to be started again.
Important: Prior to starting the descaling
program, clean the coffee brewing unit and
empty the coffee waste container.
Important: Use Sunbeam descaling tablets
only. If using other descaling agents,
Sunbeam will not be liable for any damage.
Do not, under any circumstances use vinegar,
citric acid, amidosulphuric acid or descalants
containing amidosulphuric acid, as these
agents can damage the espresso machine.
Sunbeam descaling tablets (EM0010) are
available from selected appliance retailers or
from Sunbeam on 1800 025 059.
