Do not remove the kettle from the power base while water is heating. You cannot switch on the kettle immediately after a boil cycle. -
There is a minimum 6-second break between cycles.

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 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
Our 3-Way Safety System 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.
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, cultured, even rusty-looking and is normally visible. Phosphate
scale isn’t generally visible however it may cause the water to appear cloudy
when heated. This may cause the interior of the water gauge to discolor, 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 maintain 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 Descale, a simple to use, non-
toxic cleaner available from 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.
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
discoloration that may have the appearance of rust. Be assured this is not
rust. If this occurs clean with a Scotchbrite® scourer or similar and a
suitable abrasive cleaning cream. Rinse and clean thoroughly with tap water
before using your kettle again.
To clean the exterior
The surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished
with a soft dry cloth. Take care not to knock or damage the paintwork, as this
may result in areas where the finish does not retain its original character.
Clean the exterior of the product by wiping with a soft, lint-free damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use any polishing agents, chemicals, steel wool or
abrasive cleaning products to clean the outside of the kettle as these can
damage the appearance.
To clean the mesh filter
CAUTION: Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off the kettle
and empty it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the
main supplied socket. Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted. 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.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
