Kettle User Guide

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, 
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 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 3 cups 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 stainless exterior

 

The kettle surface may be wiped over with a 
damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use chemicals, steelwool, or 

abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the 
kettle, as these will scratch the stainless steel 
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 green 
Scotchbrite

®

 scourer or similar and a suitable 

abrasive cleaning cream. Rinse and clean 
thoroughly with tap water before using your 
kettle again.
