Using your Kettle

Before using your kettle.
We recommend that you clean your kettle before use. Fill the kettle with water up to the maximum level indicator; boil then pour out.
Using your kettle.

1.  To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid. Alternatively, fill the kettle through the pouring spout.

2.  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.

3.  Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into position.

4. place the kettle on the power base and connect the plug to a 230-240v power outlet. Turn the power ON.

5. Press the ON/OFF button 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. Do not remove the kettle from the power base while the water is heating.

6. 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.

7. 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 it with cold water and re-boiling.

Cord Storage Facility
The 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:

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.
   If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling it with cold water and
   re-boiling.

3. Shut down in case of overheating. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage.

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; limescale may be white, colored, or 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 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 Descaler, a simple-to-use, non-toxic cleaner available from electrical appliance specialists and Sunbeam Appointed Service Agents.

Alternatively

1.  Fill the kettle with 1 cup of white vinegar and the remainder with water and allow to stand overnight. DO NOT BOIL.
2.  Empty the solution from the kettle. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing it with a damp cloth. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring it to a 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, the 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 green Scotchbrite® scourer or similar and a suitable abrasive cleaning cream. Rinse and clean thoroughly with tap water before using your kettle again.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline, chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to protect the exterior surface.

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 it in the kettle.
