Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally occurring mtnerol found in most water supplies. "Hard" water contains more of this mineral than "soft" water. When water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water appear cloudy. These
minerals form a thin film on the walls, element and on the sjrface of the water. The water may
look like ¡I has white colored pieces of plastic floating on the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white "crust" which adversely affects performance and reduces the life of the element. As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when cleaning the filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
Scale filter
Ygur kettle is fitted with a scale filter to prevent loose particles of scale being poured into your beverage. This filter is both removoble and washable. The frequency with which you will need to clean any scale deposits from your filter will depend on the hardness of water in your area and how often you use the kettle. You should remove and clean the water filter when you notice any deposits being left on the filter or if the pouring efficiency is impaired.
