Keeping your Sunbeam SDP1000 Iced Coffee Maker clean is essential for optimal performance and delicious iced coffee. To descale and clean your machine, preventing mineral buildup, follow these steps:
- Prepare 1 cup (235ml) of undiluted white household vinegar.
- Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
- Insert the reusable coffee filter into the brew basket and close the lid.
- Place your tumbler under the spout and press the BREW button to start a brew cycle.
- After the machine turns off, discard the contents from the tumbler and remove the reusable coffee filter.
- Rinse the tumbler, reusable filter, and brew basket with clean water.
- Fill the tumbler to the "WATER" marking with fresh water and pour it into the water reservoir.
- Put the tumbler back under the spout and press the BREW button to run another brew cycle.
- Discard this water and thoroughly rinse the tumbler.
- Repeat steps 7-9 one more time to ensure all vinegar residue is removed.
For best results, clean your Sunbeam Iced Coffee Maker monthly to maintain its peak performance and ensure your iced coffee always tastes its best. Remember, never immerse the electrical base, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquids; they are not dishwasher safe.
