Cleaning the filter

The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh filter that traps scale deposits for cleaner
water. The filter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
To access filter: Open the lid; the
1
filter is located behind spout inside
Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of
the filter to remove.
NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water
and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.

Removing mineral deposits from the interior

To get the best performance from your
Electric Kettle, decalcification will be
necessary. Calcium deposits may form on
the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle.
The cleaning interval will depend on the
hardness of the water you put in the
Electric Kettle.
Empty the solution from the
2
Electric Kettle.
