The following are essential precautions for the safe use of your SUNBEAM BRIGHTSIDE KETTLE KEP1007:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with the appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating. Even after use, the heating element surface may be subject to residual heat.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven.

• Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been damaged in any manner.

Always operate the kettle on a flat, level surface and do not operate unless the element is fully immersed.

• Boiling water will scald. Do not leave a boiling or hot kettle near or where children may touch it.

• Boiling water may be ejected if overfilled.

• Do not open the lid while water is boiling.

• Use caution when pouring the water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald.

• Do not leave the power cord near the edge of a bench top where children may touch or pull it.

• Always turn the power off and unplug the cord while the kettle is NOT in use.

• Avoid spillage on the connector power base.

• Excess cord can be stored by winding the cord around the storage facility underneath the power base.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

It is recommended that you clean your kettle before use by filling the kettle with water up to the maximum level indicator, boil and discard.

1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and lift the lid. Alternatively, the kettle may be filled through the pouring spout.

2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Always fill the kettle between the minimum and maximum marks.

3. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into position.

4. Place the kettle on the power base and connect the plug into a 230-240v power outlet. Turn the power ON.

5. Press the ON/OFF switch downwards at the base of the kettle. The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled.

6. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water.

NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The kettle will not turn off if the ON/OFF switch is constrained or if the lid is left open. Do not remove the kettle from the power base while water is heating.

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. Do not fill the kettle over the maximum level, as water may spill out of the spout when boiling.

The 3-Way Safety System ensures that your kettle will:

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.

3. Shut-down in case of overheating. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage.

Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch it off. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.

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.

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

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.

CAUTION: Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off the kettle and empty it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the main supplied socket. Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted.

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.

Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when the water is heated. Lime scale may be visible, but phosphate scale isn’t generally visible and may cause the water to appear cloudy when heated. This can cause the interior of the water gauge to discolor, 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 maintain 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 electrical appliance specialists and Sunbeam Appointed Service Agents.

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.

3. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and then discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will then be ready to use.

This kettle features a non-corrosive stainless steel heating element. Over time, scale may build up on the concealed element inside the kettle, causing discoloration 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 thoroughly with tap water before using your kettle again.
