If this kettle is filled above the maximum
level mark, hot water may be ejected from the
spout during boiling. Beware of steam coming
from the spout or lid especially during refilling.
Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. Plug the power base into a suitable
power outlet. NOTE: The kettle will turn
on and enter stand by mode until one of
the buttons on the base unit is pressed.
2. Remove your kettle from the power base
before filling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can fill it
through the spout or by opening the lid.
Don’t overfill your kettle and always
ensure that there is sufficient water in
your kettle for it to operate correctly.
This is approximately 250ml or 1 teacup
full. Always check the water level when
your kettle is positioned on its power
base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and
place your kettle back on the base.
5. The temperature touch pad on the base
unit of the kettle allows you to select
your required temperature of water for
the beverage you are making. Choose
your desired temperature by touching
one of the temperature buttons; the
selected temperture will illuminate and
heating will start.
6. The countdown timer on the base of the
unit will indicate the time left until your
kettle reaches the desired temperature.
The length of time the water takes to get
to temperature will vary depending on
the volume of water in the kettle and the
temperature selected. NOTE: If the
selected temperature is changed during
heating the lights and timer on the base
unit will automatically adjust
themselves. NOTE: Due to the variable
way in which heat energy transfers
through water the timer lights may not
extinguish at a steady rate. This is
normal and has no effect on the water
temperature.
7. When your kettle is heating, the stop
button, water level window and selected
temperature will illuminate. NOTE:
During heating the temperature of the
water will be indicated by the
illuminated temperature button. As the
temperature increases the buttons will
illuminate one by one.
8. When the water reaches the selected
temperature, your kettle will play a short
tune and the illumination will flash to
indicate the water is ready. (You have
the option to mute the tune).
9. Kettle will switch off automatically after
temperature is reached or if the kettle is
removed from the base during operation.
10. You may also switch your kettle off
manually at any time by pressing the
stop button again.
11. When the kettle is on the base it will
continue to monitor the water
temperature after the selected
temperature has been reached. The
current water temperature will be
indicated on the base unit with a slow
pulsing illumination of the temperature
button. Once the water temperature
drops below 80°C the base unit will
enter standby mode.

LOWER TEMPERATURE
ENERGY SAVING HINTS AND
SELECT MODE
You can even set a temperature that is lower
than the current temperature while the kettle
is cooling, and the kettle will let you know
when it is ready! For example, if the kettle has
boiled and is indicating 100°C you can press
(for example) 90°C and its light will be
permanently on. When the water has cooled to
90°C your kettle will play a short tune and the
illumination will flash to indicate the water is
ready.
ERROR ALERT
If the kettle jug is removed from the base and you attempt to use the base unit, the kettle will
sound an error tone and the base unit lights will pulse 3 times. To use the kettle place the jug
back onto the base.
MUTE FUNCTION
This function allows you to mute all sounds.
The mute function can be activated by holding down the stop button for 3 seconds. There will
be a sound after 3 seconds to confirm the mute setting has been activated.
To deactivate the mute function, hold the stop button for 3 seconds. There will be a sound to
confirm the mute setting has been deactivated.

TIPS
A Sunbeam® kettle, if used correctly, is a very
energy efficient device. Why not try some of
these energy saving tips:
Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your
kettle by one cup is the equivalent to using an
energy saving light bulb for one hour!
It is not always necessary to reboil your kettle.
For example, one litre of water will still be at
90°C after five minutes - the perfect
temperature for a cup of oolong tea.
Only heat the water to the temperature
required for your chosen beverage.
IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufficient water
a built-in fail-safe device will automatically
switch it off.
Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When
it has cooled down sufficiently the safety
device will reset itself.
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. Phosphate scale isn't generally visible
however it may cause the water to appear
cloudy when heated. This may cause the
interior of the water gauge to discolour, cause
overheating, 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 maintain
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.
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 thoroughly
with tap water before using your kettle again.
To clean the exterior
The surface of the kettle may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
Take care not to knock or damage the
paintwork, as this may result in areas where
the finish does not retain its original
character. Clean the exterior of the product
by wiping with a soft, lint-free damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use any polishing agents,
chemicals, steelwool or abrasive cleaning
products to clean the outside of the kettle as
these can damage the appearance.
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.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance
do not use alkaline cleaning agents when
cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
