with your kettle switching on
and off during use or

check that the flat element is
free from scale - see
"descaling".

Your kettle is fitted with a filter to
hold back limescale particles.

condensation.

descaling
G
Regular descaling of the flat element
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:
G
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
G
the kettle may take longer to boil.
G
the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
G
When limescale starts to build up on
the heating element, buy a suitable
descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water
several times and discard. Clean any
descaler off the kettle - it can
damage the parts.
G
Some regions of the country have
chalky water. This makes boiled
water look cloudy and leaves a
deposit on the side of the kettle. This
is normal but can be removed with
regular cleaning.
G
Alternatively, to reduce limescale
build up, use filtered water to fill your
kettle.
G
A range of Kenwood jug water filters
are available.
