C CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1 Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to 0, or
lift it off the stand.
2 Unplug the stand (switch the socket off first, if it's switchable),
and let the kettle cool down fully.
3 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a
little household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid
tainting the water.
4 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
5 Don't put the kettle or stand in liquid.
6 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
C DESCALE – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS
7 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it's
normally visible.
8 Phosphate scale isn't generally visible, but it's there, even in soft
water areas.
9 All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle's life, and may
trigger the boil-dry cut-out.
10 So, even with soft water, descale at least monthly, to help keep
your kettle in working order.
11 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic
parts).
12 Follow the instructions provided with the descaler, rinse several
times, then fill, boil and discard the water, to ensure no residues
are left.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will
be subject to a repair charge.
C WATER FILTER
13 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or
greasy appearance. The filter will prevent these particles going
into your drink. If you see deposits on the filter, clean it,
otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks
may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look
cloudy.
