connectors and sockets are kept dry.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE BODY, POWER BASE, POWER CORD OR PLUG
INTO WATER OR OTHER LIQUID. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND
FIRE. DO NOT USE SHARP, ABRASIVE OR AGGRESSIVE CLEANING
AGENTS, BLEACH OR SCOURING PADS TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
THE USE OF SUCH CLEANING IMPLEMENTS MAY AFFECT THE LIFE
OF THE APPLIANCE.
LIMESCALE WARNING!
LIMESCALE BUILD UP
It is important to regularly descale your kettle to
prevent limescale building up over time. This build
up can cause damage to your kettle and alter the
way your hot drinks taste. Follow these steps to
minimise limescale build up in your kettle: Empty
the kettle after each use; do not leave water in
the kettle overnight. Use filtered water instead
of tap water. Avoid using bottled water as this is
classed as hard water.
DESCALE REGULARLY
Dualit recommends descaling regularly; at least
once a month. If you live in a hard water
area you may need to descale more
often. See our Water Hardness
map to determine how often you
should descale your kettle. Dualit
commends Kilrock K Multi-Purpose
Descaler. This can be purchased
from www.dualit.com. Other
descalers can be used; follow the
instructions on the packaging. When
descaling has finished empty the kettle
and rinse it out a minimum of 3 times with fresh water. Refill
with fresh water, set to 100°C/212°F then discard the boiled
water. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE INJURY.
DO NOT HEAT KETTLE WITH DESCALING
SOLUTION IN IT.
