filter instructions

A mesh removable lime scale filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount
of scale residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning (See
figure 8). To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling.
How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often
you use your kettle. The filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left
on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases.
