Care and Cleaning (continued)

Brew head rubber seal
This seal is located in the brewing head and
creates a seal against the filter handle when
making an espresso.
Note: When your Sunbeam Piccolo Espresso
®
is
not being used, we recommend that you do not
leave the filter handle attached to the machine
as this will reduce the life of the seal.
Over time this seal loses its elasticity and
will require replacement – usually every 6-12
months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating are
when: the filter handle rotates to the far right
and feels loose, or steam escapes from around
the brewing head during use.
The cup warming plate and exterior
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and wipe
dry. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as
these will scratch the exterior surface.
Steam wand
The steam wand needs to be cleaned each
time you texture milk. To clean the steam
wand, wipe with a damp cloth and for the froth
attachment, simply rinse it under warm water.
Note: After each use we recommend that a
small amount of steam is purged from the
steam wand.
On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly
cleaning the steam wand.
To do this soak the wand in water with the
stainless jug resting on the drip tray. Ensure
that the water level in the jug is over the wand.
Run steam through the wand for 30 seconds,
then leave to soak overnight.
In the morning turn the machine on and run
steam through the wand again for 30 seconds.
Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Important: Should your steam wand become
blocked, insert the end of a paper clip into the
hole at the bottom of the steam nozzle (22)
and see Figure 3.
Should the steam wand remain blocked
unscrew the steam nozzle (23). Clean the
steam nozzle by once again using the paper
clip and flush with water.
