Water Filter; Cleaning The Filter - Russell Hobbs 18941 Series Instructions And Warranty

DE-SCALE REGULARLY – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS
Water contains minerals that will form deposits on the inside of your kettle, commonly
referred to as scaling. Scaling discolours the internal surfaces and can affect the
performance.
To maintain the performance of your kettle, it should be de-scaled every three months or so.
De-scale more frequently if you live in a hard water area.
• Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of citric acid to the empty kettle.
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the max level mark on the water gauge.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow the kettle to boil.
• Once the water has boiled allow the kettle to cool.
• Once the kettle has cooled, discard the water into the sink.
NOTE: If using a commercial de-scaler, follow the instructions listed on the de-scaler.
RINSE AFTER DE-SCALING
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the max level mark on the water gauge.
• Discard the water into the sink.
• Repeat the rinsing process 3 times, discarding the water in the kettle each time.
NOTE: Products returned under warranty with faults due to scale may be subject to a
repair charge.
NOTE: If using a commercial de-scaler, follow the instructions listed on the de-scaler.

WATER FILTER

Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter
will prevent these particles going into your drink. Remove and clean the filter regularly.

CLEANING THE FILTER

• Check your hands are free from soap, hand cream, or anything which might leave a taint.
• Switch the power off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
• Press the lid lock button to open the lid.
• Pull the filter up and out of its housing.
NOTE: Take care not to press on the mesh part of the filter – you may damage it.
• Rinse the filter under a running tap whilst brushing with a soft brush.
• Rinse the kettle in case scale particles have fallen inside.
• Turn the filter so the tab at the top of the filter faces the rear of the kettle.
• Slide it down into the guides in the filter housing. Ensure it is firmly in place.
• Refill the kettle and close the lid.
CAUTION: Do not use the kettle without the filter in place – it may spit boiling water.
