Using your Glass
Temperature Kettle
Before using your kettle.
Tip: The Variable Temperature Kettle has four
optimum tea temperatures you can select
from: 80°C, 85°C, 90°C and 100°C (boil).
These are the recommended temperatures
for brewing green, white, oolong, herbal and
black teas. Refer to the ‘Tea Brewing Styles
and Tips’ table on page 6 for the ideal tea
temperature for your tea.

selected water temperature once the
heating cycle has finished, simply press
the ‘KEEP WARM’ button. This will maintain
the temperature selected for up to 20
minutes. The ‘KEEP WARM’ button will
remain illuminated to indicate that it has
been selected.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle
before using it by filling the kettle with water
to the maximum level indicator, boiling the
water and discarding.

kettle may be filled through the pouring
spout. Do not fill the kettle below the 'min'
indication.
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: The ‘KEEP WARM’ button can be
pressed when selecting your desired water
temperature or after the power ‘START/
CANCEL’ button has been pressed (during
the boiling cycle). The ‘KEEP WARM’ button
will illuminate to indicate that it has been

minutes.

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:
3. Shut-down in case of overheating.
In the event of overheating, the kettle will
automatically shut down to prevent further
damage. Should this occur, take your kettle
to a Sunbeam Service Centre or Appointed
Service Agent.
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 with cold water and
re-boiling.

Care and Cleaning
Always remove the plug from the power outlet
before cleaning.
Never immerse the kettle switch area, kettle
jug base, cord or powerbase in water, or allow
moisture to come into contact with these
parts.
CAUTION: Do not use chemicals, steel wool,
or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the kettle.
To clean the mesh filter
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 stainless steel heating plate
This kettle features a non-corrosive stainless
steel heating plate. Over time, scale may
build up on the heating plate 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 tapwater before using your
kettle again.
To clean the kettle exterior
Clean the exterior surface of your kettle with
a damp cloth and then wipe dry with a soft
dry cloth.
Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the
interior to discolour. To remove this buildup,
use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, a simple to
use, non-toxic cleaner available from
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centres.
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.
The outside of the kettle can be wiped over
with a damp cloth.
