It is recommended that you clean your kettle
before use by filling the kettle with water up
to the maximum level indicator, boil and
discard.

Using your kettle.

1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and lift the lid. Alternatively, the
kettle may be filled through the pouring
spout.

2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of
water. Always fill the kettle with at least

0.50L of water. Too little water will result
in the kettle switching off before the water
has boiled.

NOTE: Do not fill the kettle over the maximum
level, as water may spill out of the spout
when boiling.

3. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into
position.

4. Place the kettle on the power base and
connect the plug into a 230-240v power
outlet. Turn the power ON.

5. Press the ON/OFF button downwards at the

base of the kettle. The kettle will switch off
automatically once the water has boiled.

NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear
of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed.
The kettle will not turn off if the ON/OFF
switch is constrained or if the lid is left open.
Do not remove the kettle from the power base
while water is heating.

6. Lift the kettle from the power base and
pour the water.

NOTE: Use caution when pouring the water
from your kettle, as boiling water will scald.

7. The kettle may be stored on the power
base while not in use. The kettle will not
re-boil until the ON/OFF switch is pressed
downward.

NOTE: Ensure the power is turned off at the
power outlet when the kettle is not in use.
Should you accidentally allow the kettle to
operate without water, boil-dry protection will
automatically switch it off. If this occurs,
allow the kettle to cool before filling with
cold water and re-boiling.

Cord Storage Facility.

Excess cord can be stored by winding the
cord around the storage facility underneath
the power base.

Sunbeam’s 3-Way Safety System

Our 3-Way Safety System ensures that your
kettle will:

1. Automatically switch off after boiling.

For convenience, safety and energy
efficiency, your Sunbeam kettle will
automatically switch off after boiling.

2. Cut-out for boil-dry protection.

If the kettle is operated without water, it
will automatically cut-out, preventing any
damage to the element.

If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool
before filling with cold water and
re-boiling.

3. Shut-down in case of overheating.

In the event of overheating, the kettle will
automatically shut down to prevent further
damage. Should this occur, take your kettle
to a Sunbeam Service Centre or Appointed
Service Agent.

Care and Cleaning

Always disconnect the kettle from the power
outlet before cleaning.

Never immerse the kettle switch area, cord or
power base in water, or allow moisture to
come into contact with these parts.

Descale Your Kettle Regularly

Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when
the water is heated. Lime scale may be
white, coloured, even rusty-looking and is
normally visible but phosphate scale isn’t
generally visible but may cause the water to
appear cloudy when heated. This may cause
the interior of the water gauge to discolour,
trigger the boil-dry cut-out mechanism or
even reduce the kettle’s life.

Even in soft water areas it is important to
descale your kettle regularly to help
maintains its lifecycle.

NOTE: Failure to descale products regularly
can be deemed as negligent handling and
any faults caused by mineral build up will
not be covered by the Sunbeam 12 Month
Guarantee.

To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid
Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner
available from electrical appliance specialists
and Sunbeam Appointed Service Agents.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle with 1 cup of white vinegar
and the remainder with water and allow to
stand overnight. DO NOT BOIL.

2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Any
stains remaining inside the spout can be
removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.
Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to
boil and then discard the water. Repeat
and the kettle will then be ready to use.

To clean the kettle exterior

The plastic surface may be wiped over with a
damp cloth and polished with a soft dry
cloth.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the
appliance, do not use alkaline, chemical or
abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth and a mild
detergent to protect the exterior surface.

To clean the mesh filter
CAUTION: Before removing or refitting the

filter, switch off the kettle and empty it.
Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the
power base from the main supplied socket.
Never operate the kettle without the filter
fitted.

Open the lid. Grasp the top of the mesh filter
and pull upwards to remove. Wash in warm
soapy water and dry thoroughly before
replacing in the kettle.

Cleaning the concealed heating element

This kettle features a non-corrosive stainless
steel heating element. Over time, scale may
build up on the concealed element inside the
kettle, causing discolouration that may have
the appearance of rust. Be assured this is not
rust. If this occurs clean with a Scotchbrite
scourer or similar and a suitable abrasive
cleaning cream. Rinse and clean throughly
with tap water before using your kettle again.

To assist us in managing warranty claims,
we recommend you register your product as
soon as practicable after purchase, on our
Sunbeam website and uploading a copy of
your original receipt. View the Support
section of the Sunbeam website.
