Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
SUNBEAM TOASTER.
• Do not place any objects such as toast,
bread or similar on top of your toaster when
in use.
• Operate the toaster on a flat level surface.
• The bread may burn, therefore do not use
the toaster near or below combustible
material, such as curtains.
• Do not leave your toaster unattended when
in use.
Sunbeam is 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 by children or infirm
persons.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Clean crumb tray regularly.
• Do not allow crumbs to accumulate in the
crumb tray.
• Do not toast stale bread, rice crackers or
similar on a high setting as they may catch
fire.
• WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, crumpets or muffins with a knife or
any metal object, as contact with the live
element may cause electrocution.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• 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.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been 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.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated
by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.

360° power base
Using your Quantum Evo Stainless
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, by pressing the button
on the handle. 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. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into
position.
4. Place the kettle on the power base and
connect the plug into a 230/240 Volt
AC power outlet. Turn the power ON.
5. Press the ON/OFF button downwards at the
top of the handgrip. The power indicator
light will illuminate to indicate the kettle
is heating. 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 in use.
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.

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. Should this occur, take your kettle
to a Sunbeam Service Centre or Appointed
Service Agent.

Safety System

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.
Removal of mineral deposits.
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
the interior of the water gauge to discolour.
To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam
Liquid Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic
cleaner available from Sunbeam Appointed
Service Agents.
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.
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
Press the button on the handle to open the
hinged 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 green
Scotchbrite® scourer or similar and a
suitable abrasive cleaning cream. Rinse
and clean thoroughly with tap water before
using your kettle again.
