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 although 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:
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 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 exterior
The plastic surface may be wiped over with
a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry
cloth.
To prevent damage to the appliance do not
use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning,
use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
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.
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.
