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.

already uploaded to our website).
Should your product develop any defect within 12
months of purchase because of faulty materials
or workmanship, we will replace or repair it, at our
discretion, free of charge. A product presented for
repair may be replaced by a refurbished product of

a claim, consumable items, accessories that by their

(such as filters and seals) or any consequential loss
or damage; or
