Cleaning and care
• Disconnect the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• Never immerse the kettle, cord or power base in water. All connections and
sockets must be kept dry.
The outside of your kettle only requires occasional wiping with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, a mild, non-abrasive household detergent. Then wipe dry.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the kettle, do not use scouring pads, steel
wool, solvents or harsh chemical or alkaline cleaning agents.
Removal of mineral deposits
From time to time, you may need to clean off any mineral deposits (limescale) left
by water inside your kettle, to keep it operating efficiently. How often you have
to do this depends on the water hardness in your area and on how often you use
the kettle. If scaling is a problem in your area, it is important that you clean the
inside of the kettle regularly as scale build-up will damage the heating element
and impair the boil-dry safety feature.
You can use a commercially available descaling agent for household products
(according to the instructions on the packet) or a simple water and vinegar
solution to descale the kettle. Follow the steps below.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the remainder with water.
2. Let this mixture stand in the kettle overnight. Do not boil.
3. Empty the solution from the kettle. Any stains remaining inside the spout can
be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.
4. Fill the kettle with fresh, clean water, let it boil and then discard the water.
Repeat with clean, fresh water until all traces of vinegar are removed.
It is possible that spots of what looks like rust may appear on the base.
This is not rust, and not a fault. It is scale caused by impurities in the water.
Cleaning the filter
Clean the filter regularly to ensure an easy flow of water. Take out the filter from
behind the spout by opening the lid and pulling the filter's latch. Under running
water, rub the filter gently with your fingers. Be careful not to use anything that
could tear or damage the filter when cleaning.
Descale the filter at regular intervals. Soak it in a descaling solution, rub off any
residues gently with your fingers and then rinse the filter thoroughly.
