Sunbeam KE9600 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, 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.

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.
