Descaling

Regular descaling will prolong the life of the appliance.
When you descale the Kettle, you can also descale the filter at the
same time by simply leaving it in the appliance.
Depending on the hardness of the water, small spots may appear on
the heating elements. Scale build up is perfectly normal. Scale is
harmless, but left unattended it can hinder optimal Kettle performance.
De-scale regularly.
1 Fill the Kettle with water up to three-quarters of the MAX
capacity in the water window, press the ON ( l ) button, and
bring the water to a boil.
2 After the Kettle has switched OFF ( O ), add white vinegar (8%)
up to the MAX level in the water indicator.
3 Leave the solution in the Kettle overnight.
4 Empty the Kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly.
5 Fill the Kettle with clean water, press the ON ( l ) button,
and boil the water.
6 Empty the Kettle and rinse it with clean water again.
Repeat this procedure if there is still some scale in the Kettle.
