Using your 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. 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 230-240v power outlet. Turn the power ON.
-
Press the ON/OFF switch downwards at the base of the kettle. 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
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.
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 but may cause the water to appear
cloudy when heated. This may cause the interior of the water gauge to
discolour, 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 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 kettle exterior
The plastic surface may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a
soft dry cloth.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline,
chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent to
protect the exterior surface.
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.
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 throughly with tap water
before using your kettle again.
