Using your Express® Kettle

Before using your kettle.

It is recommended that you clean your kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of water then discarding the water.

Using your kettle

To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and fill it 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. Too much water may cause it to spill out of the spout when boiling.
Connect the plug into a 230-240 Volt AC power outlet. Turn the power ON.
Position the kettle on the power base. Press the ON/OFF button. The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled.
NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions. The kettle will not turn off if the switch is constrained. Do not remove the kettle from the power base while in use.
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 when 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 while the kettle is not in use.
Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, the boil- dry protection will automatically switch it off. If this should occur, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
Cord Storage Facility
The excess cord can be stored by feeding the cord into the storage cavity 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 an Appointed Service Agent.

Care and Cleaning

Always remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
Never immerse the kettle switch area, cord or powerbase 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 to discolor. To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner available from Sunbeam Appointed Service Centres.
Alternatively:

Fill the kettle with 3 cups 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.
The outside of the kettle can be wiped over with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive cleaners.

To clean the mesh filter
Grasp the top of the mesh filter and pull upwards to remove it. Wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before replacing in the kettle.
