SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
KETTLE.
• Boiling water will scald. Do not leave a
boiling or hot kettle near or where children
may touch it.
• Boiling water maybe ejected, if overfilled.
• Do not leave the power cord near the edge of
a bench top where children may touch or
pull it.
• Do not move kettle while switched on.
• Always switch the power off and unplug the
cord while the kettle is NOT in use.
• Do not operate the kettle without water.
• Do not operate the kettle unless the element
is fully immersed in water or filled to the
minimum level indicated.
• NOTE: If the kettle is overfilled and tilted
backwards, water may leak from the control

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

Before using your kettle.
It is recommended that you clean your
kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of
water then discarding the water.
Using your kettle
1.To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and fill with the desired amount of
water.
Always fill the kettle between the minimum
and maximum marks. Too little water will
result in the kettle switching off before the
water has boiled. Too much water may
cause it to spill out of the spout when
boiling.
2.Connect the plug into a 230-240 Volt AC
power outlet. Turn the power ON.
3.Position the kettle on the power base.
Press the ON/OFF button. The kettle will
switch off automatically once the water has
boiled.
NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is
clear of obstructions. The kettle will not
turn off if the switch is constrained. Do not
remove the (KE4400) from the power base
while in use.
4.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.
5.The kettle may be stored on the power
base when 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 while the kettle is not in
use.
Should you accidentally allow the kettle to
operate without water, the boil-dry
protection will automatically switch it off.
If this should occur, allow the kettle to
cool before filling with cold water and reboiling.
Cord Storage Facility
Excess cord can be stored by feeding the
cord into the storage cavity underneath the
power base.
Using your Express Kettle

Safety is a major consideration in the
design of a Sunbeam kettle. This is why we
have developed our 3-Way Safety System,
which ensures that your kettle will:
1. Automatically switch off after boiling.
For convenience, safety and energy
efficiency, your Sunbeam kettle features an
auto cut-out device.
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.
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.

Always remove the plug from the power
outlet before cleaning.
Never immerse the kettle switch area or
cord in water, or allow moisture to come
into contact with these parts.
Removal of mineral deposits.
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
the kettle interior to discolour. To remove
this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid
Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic
cleaner available from Sunbeam Appointed
Service Centres.
Alternatively:
1.Fill the kettle with 3 cups 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.
The outside of the kettle can be wiped over
with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the
kettle.
