Features of your BRITA Kettle

3-Way Safety System

1 – Automatically switches the kettle off after

boiling.

2 – Cuts out for boil-dry production.

3 – Shuts down in case of overheating.

2400 watt concealed element

The fast boil 2400 watt element is concealed

in the base of the kettle for longer element

life. The smooth stainless floor reduces scale

build up and allows for easy cleaning.

360 degree cordless power base

Designed to allow you to place the kettle on

the base in any direction.

Cord storage facility

Excess cord can be wound around the cord

storage facility underneath the power base.

Memo display

The electronic cartridge exchange indicator

automatically reminds you to replace the

filter cartridge every 8 weeks.

Hinged locking lid

Opens at the push of a button for one-handed

use and for safety, locks shut to reduce the

chance of accidental scalding.

Water window

With power ON illumination, indicates the

volume of water in the kettle. Maximum

capacity when using the BRITA filter is 1.25

litres and with the BRITA filter and filter

funnel removed is 1.7 litres.

Soft grip handle

Contoured design for easy handling and

pouring.

Using your BRITA Kettle

Before using your kettle

4.Place the kettle on the power base and

connect the plug into a 230/240 Volt AC

power outlet. Turn the power ON.

• Remove any packaging or promotional

material from the kettle.

Important: The kettle is designed to boil and

filter water at the same time, however some

water does need to filter through to avoid the

kettle boiling dry. Therefore if the kettle is

empty prior to filling, before switching the

kettle on wait a moment after adding the

water to allow some water to pass through

the filter first.

• Remove the filter cartridge from the filter

assembly and keep in a safe place.

• Remove the filter assembly, wash in warm,

soapy water, rinse and wipe dry.

• Position the kettle on a dry, level, secure

bench top.

Using your kettle

5.Press the ON/OFF switch. The internal

water chamber illuminates and this is

visible through the water windows. The

kettle will switch off automatically once the

water has boiled.

Important: Prior to using your kettle see

sections ‘Preparing the filter cartridge for

use’ and ‘Using the Memo function’.

1.To fill the kettle, remove it from the power

base and lift the lid, by pressing the button

on the top of the handle.

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 in use.

Note: Do not fill the kettle through the spout.

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.

6.Lift the kettle from the power base and

pour the water.

Note: Do not fill the kettle over the maximum

level, as water may spill out of the spout

when boiling. When using the kettle with the

BRITA filter the maximum capacity is 1.25

litres.

Note: Use caution when pouring the water

from your kettle, as boiling water will scald.

7.The kettle may be stored on the power

base while not in use. The kettle will not

re-boil until the ON/OFF switch is pressed

downward.

With the BRITA filter and filter funnel

removed the maximum capacity is 1.7 litres.

Note: Ensure the power is turned off at the

power outlet when the kettle is not in use.

3.Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into

position.

Should you accidentally allow the kettle to

operate without water, boil-dry protection will

automatically switch it off. If this occurs,

allow the kettle to cool before filling with

cold water and re-boiling.

Cord storage facility

Excess cord can be stored by winding the

cord around the storage facility underneath

the power base.

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 features an

auto cut-out device.

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.

Preparing the filter cartridge for use

1.Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it

is normal for the cartridge to appear moist

during storage).

4.Fill the filter funnel with cold water and

allow it to filter through, and then discard

the water. Repeat this process, again

discarding the water. See figure 3.

2.Immerse the cartridge in cold water and

agitate gently to remove any air bubbles.

See figure 1.

Figure 3

5.Refill the filter funnel with water, the filter

is now ready for use. See figure 3.

cartridge before use.

Removing the filter cartridge

3.Insert the cartridge into the filter funnel

assembly and push it firmly into place.

When correctly fitted, the cartridge should

remain in place when the funnel is turned

upside-down. See figure 2.

• When it is time to replace the cartridge

after 8 weeks use, simply lift the handle on

top of the cartridge to remove. See figure

4. The cartridge may be disposed of in

household waste or contact the BRITA Care

Team for advice on recycling schemes.

Figure 4

• Always ensure that you have spare

cartridges available.

Figure 2

• Repeat steps 1-5 with a new cartridge.

Using the Memo function

It is important to change your filter cartridge

regularly to enjoy the benefits of filtered

water and keep your kettle scale free.

• At the end of every two weeks, one

bar will disappear to indicate the

remaining cartridge life. When only one

bar is showing, check that you have a

replacement filter cartridge available. See

figure 6.

The BRITA Memo system automatically

reminds you when your filter cartridge needs

to be changed.

When you have fitted and prepared your filter

cartridge, start the Memo system as follows:

��

• Press and hold the Start button until 4

bars appear on the display and flash twice.

The Memo is now set. The flashing dot in

the corner of the display indicates that the

Memo is working. See figure 5.

Care and Cleaning

Always disconnect the kettle from the power

outlet before cleaning.

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.

Never immerse the kettle switch area, cord

or power base in water, or allow moisture to

come into contact with these parts.

To clean the exterior surface

Removal of mineral deposits

The surface may be wiped over with a damp

cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

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.

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

To remove this build-up, use Sunbeam Liquid

Descaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner

available from Sunbeam Appointed Service

Agents.

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.

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.
