To descale your Sunbeam Series 6 coffee machine, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run a brew cycle without any coffee grounds. After the cycle completes, run two cycles with fresh water to rinse.
If your Sunbeam Series 6 is not turning on, ensure that it is plugged into a working outlet. Check the power cord for any damage. If the problem persists, try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes before plugging it back in.
To clean the milk frother, detach it from the machine and rinse it under warm water. Use a soft brush to remove any milk residue. For a deeper clean, soak it in warm, soapy water before rinsing thoroughly.
Bitter coffee can result from over-extraction. Ensure you are using the correct grind size and coffee-to-water ratio. Regularly clean the machine to prevent old coffee residue from affecting the flavor.
Regular maintenance includes descaling every 3 months, cleaning the milk frother weekly, and wiping down the exterior after each use. Check the user manual for detailed maintenance guidelines.
To adjust the brewing strength, select the brew strength option on the control panel. You can choose between mild, medium, and strong to suit your preference.
If the water reservoir is leaking, check for cracks or damage. Ensure it is properly seated in the machine. If the issue persists, consider replacing the reservoir.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee with the Sunbeam Series 6. Simply add the desired amount to the filter basket and proceed with the standard brewing process.
