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.  
6.To maintain the temperature of the  
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.  
Using your Glass Temperature Kettle  
Important: Do not fill the kettle over the  
maximum level, as water may spill out of the  
spout when boiling.  
1.To fill the kettle, remove it from the power  
base and remove the lid by turning to the

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/  
CANCELbutton has been pressed (during  
the boiling cycle). The ‘KEEP WARM’ button  
will illuminate to indicate that it has been  
selected.

when the 100°C (boil) temperature has been  
selected, the kettle will boil to 100°C, drop  
to 90°C and maintain at 90°C for up to 20  
minutes.

the power cord into a 230-240 Volt AC  
power outlet and switch the power on.  
5.Press the ‘SELECT’ button to toggle between  
four pre-set temperatures: 80°C, 85°C,  
90°C and 100°C (boil). Your selected water

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.
