Features of your Maestro Kettle
3-Way Safety System.
1 – Automatically switches the kettle off after boiling.
2 – Cuts out for boil-dry production.
3 – Shuts down in case of overheating.
Using your Maestro 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
-
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.
-
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. -
Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into position.
-
Place the kettle on the power base and connect the plug into a 230/240 Volt AC power outlet. Turn the power ON.
-
Press the ON/OFF button downwards at the base of the kettle. The ON/OFF button 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. -
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. -
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:
-
Automatically switch off after boiling.
For convenience, safety and energy efficiency, your Sunbeam kettle will automatically switch off after boiling. -
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. -
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.
The Maestro Kettle features the Sunbeam Quiet Shield which is new and
exclusive quiet boil technology designed to make boiling water a peaceful
practice.
The Sunbeam Quiet Shield® is a stainless steel disk attached to the kettle
floor which acts as a diffuser plate. It is perforated with a range of holes
which help disperse, and reduce the size of, the water bubbles thus
significantly reducing the noise of the boiling process.
Maintaining the Quiet Boil Technology.
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.
Regular use of the kettle can lead to the build-up of these minerals which reduces the effectiveness of the Sunbeam Quiet Shield® as well as the performance of the kettle. It is important to descale your kettle regularly to maintain the Quiet Shield® and to prolong the life of the kettle. Sunbeam recommend that the kettle is descaled every 4-6 weeks. Go to page 6 for more information on how to descale your Maestro Kettle.
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, 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 electrical appliance specialists and Sunbeam Appointed Service Agents.
Alternatively:
- Fill the kettle with 1 cup of white vinegar and the remainder with water and allow to stand overnight. DO NOT BOIL.
- 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.
