Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR  
SUNBEAM CAFÉ MOKA.  
• Do not move the caffé maker while  
switched on.  
• Always operate the appliance on a flat,  
level surface.  
• This appliance has been manufactured to  
make coffee. Other than ground coffee  
never use any other extracts as these may  
block the filtering holes.  
• Do not operate without water in the base.  
• Boiling water will scald. Do not leave a  
boiling or hot caffé maker near or where  
children may touch it.  
• Keep hands away from hot/metal surfaces.  
• Only operate the appliance when connected  
to a power outlet, never use it directly on  
the stove top.  
• Do not leave the power cord near the edge  
of a bench top where children may touch  
or pull it.  
• Ensure that the pressure release valve in  
the base of the caffé maker is not covered  
by water. The maximum amount of water  
that can be placed in the caffé maker base  
is 350mLs.  
• Do not allow the power cord to come into  
contact with the hot/metal surfaces of the  
appliance.  
• Your Café Moka must only be used with the  
power base supplied.  
• Switch off and unplug the appliance at  
power outlet before cleaning.

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:  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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  
• Always use your appliance from a power  
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked  
on the appliance.  
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.  
• Close supervision is necessary when your  
appliance is being used near children or  
infirm persons.  
• Never leave an appliance unattended while  
in use.  
• Do not immerse the appliance in water  
or any other liquid unless recommended.  
• Young children should be supervised to ensure  
that they do not play with the appliance.  
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,  
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

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.  
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.

Cleaning  
Important: Before cleaning the caffé maker  
ensure that the appliance has cooled down.  
Figure 10  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Should the holes in the filter become clogged  
with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush  
and if necessary clean using a pin.  
The brushed stainless steel exterior  
Upper caffé chamber filter  
The stainless steel surface may be wiped over  
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft  
dry cloth.  
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.  
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.
