Cleaning
•
Always unplug the appliance and allow cooling down
before cleaning.
•
Never clean the appliance under running water, nor
immerse it in water. Clean the exterior surfaces of the
kettle with a damp cloth only. Small amounts of dish-
washing liquids may be used. Do not use steel wool
or abrasive cleaners. Never use any solvents such
as alcohol, gasoline or benzene.
• The removable scale filter can be cleaned with a soft
brush; do not use a metal brush. The scale filter is
dishwasher-proof.
Descaling
• To extend the kettle's lifetime and save energy, we
recommend the following descaling frequency:
– Every 3 months in case of normal use
(up to 5 times a day) with low to medium water
hardness.
– Every month in case of more frequent usage or
with hard water.
The water hardness you can check with your local
water supplier.

Boil 0.8 l water in the kettle.
•
Important: Switch off the kettle and add 0.4 l house-
hold vinegar (4-5% acid ). Do not boil the contents as
it may cause spilling being a danger of scalding.

night.
