Sunbeam KE7450 manual Care and Cleaning, Descale Your Kettle Regularly, Alternatively

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, reduce the effectiveness of the Quiet Boil technology, 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 lifecyle.

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 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.

Press the button on the handle to open the hinged 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.
