6. The countdown timer on the base of the unit will indicate the time left until your kettle reaches the desired temperature. The length of time the water takes to get to temperature will vary depending on the volume of water in the kettle and the temperature selected. NOTE: If the selected temperature is changed during heating the lights and timer on the base unit will automatically adjust themselves.

ENERGY-SAVING HINTS AND TIPS
A Sunbeam® kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. Why not try some of these energy-saving tips:
Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your kettle by one cup is the equivalent to using an energy-saving light bulb for one hour! It is not always necessary to reboil your kettle. For example, one litre of water will still be at 90°C after five minutes – the perfect temperature for a cup of oolong tea.Only heat the water to the temperature required for your chosen beverage.

IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built-in fail-safe device will automatically switch it off. Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When it has cooled down sufficiently the safety device will reset itself.

Sunbeam’s 3-Way Safety System
Our 3-Way Safety System ensures that your kettle will:
If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.

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.

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.

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. The 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 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 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 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.

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 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, steelwool 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.
