Using your Short Pot Kettle
Before using your kettle.
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 between the
minimum and maximum marks. 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. Replace the lid firmly into position.
4. Place the kettle on the power base and
connect the plug into a 230/240 Volt AC
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 in
position. The kettle will not turn off if the
ON/OFF switch is constrained. 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
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 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.
5
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 although may cause the water to
appear cloudy when heated. This may cause
the interior of the water gauge to discolour,
reduce the effectiveness of the Quiet Boil
technology, 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
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 Sunbeam Appointed Service
Agents.
To clean the stainless exterior
The stainless steel surface may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use chemicals, steelwool,
or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the kettle, as these will scratch the stainless
steel surface.
To clean the mesh filter.
Lift 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.
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.
