Care And Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter - Clas Ohlson 18-4710-1 Instruction Manual

Care and maintenance

Always unplug the lead from the power point and let the kettle cool down properly
before cleaning it. If necessary, the exterior of the kettle can be wiped with a lightly
moistened cloth.
Cleaning the filter
Clean the spout filter regularly.
Procedure:
1. Pull out filter from its retaining grooves.
2. Clean the filter.
3. Slide the filter back into its retaining grooves.
Descaling
Due to the natural occurrence of calcium in water, limescale deposits may form in
the kettle after some use. Limescale deposits might lengthen the time needed for
water to boil.
For descaling, use a mixture of water and white vinegar (acetic acid) or a special
descaling agent that can be purchased at most supermarkets.
1. Mix 100 ml of white vinegar (12 %, not regular vinegar) with 300 ml cold water or
follow the directions included with the descaling agent.
2. Pour the mixture into the kettle and turn it on. Boil up the mixture 2 times, and then
pour it out.
3. In order to remove the last remnants of limescale and descaling agent, the kettle
should be filled to the max mark with fresh cold water. Turn the kettle on and let it
come to the boil.
4. Pour out the water and repeat this process 3 times. The kettle is now ready to
use again.
The kettle should be descaled after 2–3 months daily use or whenever it has visible
limescale deposits.
