Features of your Sunbeam Belle-Aqua™ Kettle
3-Way Safety System.
- Automatically switches the kettle off after boiling.
- Cuts out for boil-dry protection.
- Shuts down in case of overheating.
Using your Sunbeam Belle-Aqua™ Kettle
Before using your kettle.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle before first 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 open the lid by pushing the button on the top of the lid. Alternatively, the kettle may be filled through the pouring spout.
-
Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water (minimum 1 cup/250ml). 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 switch located on the handle downwards. The light will illuminate to indicate the kettle is heating.
The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled.
Important: Ensure the lid is firmly closed. The kettle will not turn off if the lid is left open. Do not remove the kettle from the power base while in use.
Important: Avoid touching metal surfaces when operating the kettle as these will be hot. -
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, it will cut out for boil-dry protection. 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 features an auto cut-out device. -
Cut-out for boil-dry protection.
If the kettle is operated without water, it will automatically cut-out, preventing any damage to the element. -
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.
Removal of mineral deposits.
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the interior of the water gauge to
discolour.
To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, a simple to use, non-
toxic cleaner available from Sunbeam Appointed Service Agents.
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. 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 chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean
the outside of the kettle, as these will scratch the stainless steel surface.
