Cleaning your kettle

• WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the
mains and allow the kettle to cool before
cleaning.
• Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on
the outside of the kettle which may scratch the
surface.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this appliance is fitted with a
concealed element it must be descaled regularly.
The frequency of descaling depends on usage
and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the appliance to
switch off before boiling and may damage the
element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling
product suitable for stainless steel, glass or
plastic.
For stainless steel kettles please follow the
instructions carefully.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available
from most pharmacies) as follows:
1.
Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the
appliance (remove the cordless kettle from the
base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
2.
Gradually add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the
water, then leave the kettle to stand. Do not use a
more concentrated solution.
3.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty
the appliance and rinse it thoroughly with cold
water.
4.
Wipe the outside of the appliance thoroughly with
a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid which
may damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical
connections are completely dry before using
the appliance.
