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,
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.

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 kettle 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.
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 green
Scotchbrite

®

scourer or similar and a suitable
abrasive cleaning cream. Rinse and clean
thoroughly with tap water before using your
kettle again.

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.

6. Cord Storage

7. On/Off switch with auto cut-off
Switches the kettle off
automatically after boiling.

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. 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
base of the kettle. The boiling indicators 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 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.
