Cleaning and maintenance

DO NOT LEAVE WATER IN THE KETTLE AFTER USE.
EMPTY THE KETTLE AFTER EACH USE TO REDUCE ACCUMULATION OF
LIMESCALE DEPOSITS.
To clean the kettle and base
• Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the base or the bottom of the kettle to excess water. To protect against
risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid, or place
EN
under running water to clean. Wipe clean with a damp sponge and a small amount of
gentle dishwashing liquid if necessary. Never clean with harsh or abrasive cleaners or
sponges. Dry all parts carefully before next use.
To clean the limescale filter (fig. 5)
©
• Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
• The limescale filter is a removable mesh filter in the spout of the kettle. This filter
does not treat or remove the scale from the water, it traps the scale particles from being
poured out.
• With very hard water, the filter may need to be cleaned as often as 10-15 uses. If the
filter is wet, run under lukewarm water to remove particles. If filter is dry, brush gently to
remove particles. To avoid damaging the mesh, do not scrub the filter.
• To remove excessive scale, descale as described below.
Descaling
• For best performance, descale regularly. The amount of scale that develops depends
on the hardness of your water and how frequently the kettle is used. Descale regularly,
preferably at least once a month, more often if your water is very hard. Keep in mind that
you may have to descale more often than indicated based on your water.
To descale your kettle or filter:
• Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
• Use plain white vinegar at room temperature. When descaling the kettle, fill with 2 cups
of white vinegar and leave for one hour without heating.
• For the filter, remove the filter from the spout, and soak with 1 cup of white vinegar for
one hour in a small cup or bowl.
• Rinse kettle and filter very well with room temperature water multiple times until
completely clean. Repeat if necessary and allow to dry before next use.
The warranty excludes kettles which have stopped working or do not work properly due
to lack of descaling.
