Cleaning The Filter - Saeco 101167 Instruction Manual

Warning: Always unplug the kettle from the socket and allow it to cool completely before
cleaning or descaling it.
1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then polish it with a soft
dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners, which may damage
the body.
2. Do not immerse the power base or power cord in water or liquid of any kind.
3. This kettle features a concealed heating element which means it never comes into
contact with the water inside the kettle. This hygienic design not only makes cleaning
the inside of the kettle much easier, it also keeps cleaning to a minimum.
4. Although the kettle is designed for the element to remain scale free, in hard water areas,
scale may still build up on the base. Therefore, it is very important that you descale
regularly using a proprietary descaler. Not doing so will spoil the appearance and
efficiency of the kettle and could result in failure of the appliance. Not descaling as
advised could void your warranty.
Use a proprietary descaling product and always follow the manufacturer's instructions
carefully when descaling the kettle.

Cleaning the Filter

Before removing or cleaning the filter, turn the kettle off. Unplug the power base, empty
any water from the kettle and allow it to cool completely.
To Remove the Filter
• Open the lid using the lid release switch.
• Take hold of the top of the filter and pull it upwards, paying particular attention to how
the filter is fitted. The filter should slide out of the grooves easily without having to
use excessive force.
To Clean the Filter
• Rinse filter under a tap while brushing with a soft brush. In hard water areas it may
be necessary to descale with a proprietary descaling agent. Rinse thoroughly to remove
any remaining descaling agent.
To Reinsert the Filter
• Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap or anything which might
contaminate the water.
• Holding the top of the filter, slide it into the grooves inside the spout until it clicks
into position.
Warning: Do not operate this kettle without the filter fitted into place.
