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 stainless steel surface may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
Caution: Do not use chemical, steel wool,
or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the kettle, as these will scratch the stainless
steel surface.
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.
