Using your Cafe Series Variable  
Temperature Kettle

Before using your kettle.  
Using your Cafe Series Variable Temperature  
Kettle  
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.  
Tip: The Variable Temperature Kettle has five  
optimum tea temperatures you can select  
from: 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C and 100°C  
(boil). Refer to the ‘Tea Brewing Styles and  
Tips’ table on page 8 for the ideal water  
temperature for your tea.  
Important: Do not fill the kettle over the  
maximum level, as water may spill out of the  
spout when boiling.  
Note: The temperature settings are a guide  
only and may vary depending on personal  
preference.  
1.Press the ‘TEMP’ button to select from five  
pre-set temperatures: 80°C, 85°C, 90°C,  
95°C and 100°C (boil). Your selected  
water temperature will be displayed on the  
LCD display for 3 seconds. Press ‘START/  
CANCELto initiate the heating cycle.  
1.To fill the kettle, remove it from the power  
base and lift the lid, by pressing the button  
at the top of the handle. 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: If after 3 seconds nothing is pressed,  
the LCD display will revert back to showing  
the current water temperature.  
Note: If the START/CANCEL button is pressed  
without any temperatures being selected  
beforehand, it will automatically default to  
the last used setting. The START/CANCEL  
button is originally preset to 100°C (boil).  
3.Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into  
position.  
4.Place the kettle onto the power base. Plug  
the power cord into a 230-240 Volt AC  
power outlet and switch the power on.  
Note: If the kettle is not positioned on top of  
the power base correctly the LCD panel will  
show “--:---“.  
2.When the heating cycle is initiated, the  
LCD display will show the maximum  
amount of time required to reach the  
selected water temperature. The Time to  
Boil feature shown on the LCD display will  
count down and flash until the correct  
time is calculated. Once the correct time  
is calculated the Time to Boil recalibrates  
to the correct time remaining and will no  
longer flash.

®
Using your Cafe Series Variable Temperature Kettle continued  
Note: The maximum amount of time is  
dependent on the ambient temperature  
of the water. The colder the initial water  
temperature the longer the heating cycle.  
For example, if the initial temperature is  
20°C the time to boil feature will show a  
maximum time of 5min 24 seconds.  
3. During the heating cycle the TEMP button  
will flash and the START/CANCEL button  
will be illuminated. The LCD panel will  
display the increasing temperature and the  
number of minutes and seconds remaining  
until the selected temperature is reached  
4. The kettle will beep once when the  
selected water temperature has been  
reached.  
Note: To cancel the heating process at any  
time during the boiling cycle, simply press  
the ‘START/CANCELbutton once.  
Time to Boil Feature  
The Time to Boil feature calculates the  
amount of time remaining until the selected  
water temperature is reached.  
Note: Water does not boil evenly and the  
amount of time it takes to boil is dependent  
on factors such as the volume of water,  
the ambient temperature, levels of mineral  
content and the selected temperature.  
Therefore, the Time to Boil is a guide only  
and is not scientifically exact.  
When the heating cycle is initiated, the LCD  
display will show the maximum amount of  
time required to reach the selected water  
temperature. The Time to Boil shown on the  
LCD display will count down and flash until  
the correct amount of time is calculated.  
Once the correct time is calculated the  
Time to Boil may jump to the correct time  
remaining and will no longer flash.  
Note: The Time to Boil feature does not  
calculate the remaining time before the  
temperature is reached when the initial  
temperature is 75ºC and above.  
Note: If the kettle is removed from the power  
base during the heating process, the kettle  
will automatically reset, cancelling the  
heating cycle. However, when the kettle is  
replaced the Keep Warm function will remain  
illuminated if it was previously selected..

Keep Warm Function  
Sleep mode  
1.To maintain the temperature of the  
selected water temperature, 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.  
The kettle will automatically switch off the  
LCD screen after 20 minutes to save power.  
To exit the standby mode, press any button.  
Note: If START/CANCEL is selected during  
Sleep Mode, the kettle will automatically  
initiate the previous settings (including  
temperature and Keep Warm).  
Figure 1  
Note: The ‘KEEP WARM’ button can be  
pressed when selecting your desired water  
temperature or after the power START/  
CANCEL button has been pressed (during the  
boiling cycle). It will then continue to flash  
during the heating cycle and will remain  
illuminated during the keep warm period.  
The ‘KEEP WARM’ button will illuminate to  
indicate that it has been selected.  
Note: If the ‘KEEP WARM’ button is selected  
when the 100°C (boil) temperature has been  
selected, the kettle will boil to 100°C and  
maintain at 100°C for up to 20 minutes.  
Note: If the kettle is removed from the power  
base during the keep warm period, the kettle  
will automatically resume the keep warm  
period at the set temperature when the kettle  
is replaced  
Note: During the heating cycle, the LCD  
display panel will remain illuminated,  
showing the temperature of the kettle as  
it increases and also the amount of time  
left before the kettle reaches the selected  
termperature.

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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
