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.
Removal of mineral deposits
The BRITA Maxtra filter cartridge will
continuously reduce the limescale content in
the water, however over time mineral deposits
in tap water may cause the interior of the
kettle to discolour.
To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid
Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner
available from Sunbeam Appointed Service
Agents.
Note: Should the kettle require descaling,
always remove the BRITA Maxtra filter
cartridge from the filter funnel.
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. 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 exterior surface
The surface may be wiped over with a damp
cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the
kettle, as these will scratch the surface.
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.
