out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water
out at too sharp an angle.
- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see
moisture on the top surface of the base. Condensation on
the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for
alarm.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle
and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Important! Avoid accidentally spilling water on the
buttons. If this occurs, unplug the base from the mains and
thoroughly dry the buttons before switching the kettle back on.
Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally
occurring mineral found in most water supplies. “Hard” water
contains more of this mineral than “soft” water. When the water
is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water
5
appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin lm on the walls,
element and on the surface of the water. The water may look like
it has white coloured pieces of plastic oating on the surface.
On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white “crust”
which adversely aects performance and reduces the life of the
element.
As soon as you notice a lm forming on the water, or, when
cleaning the lter, if you notice a lm on the walls or the
element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles
of scale being poured into your beverage. This lter is both
removable and washable. The frequency with which you will
need to clean any scale deposits from your lter will depend
on the hardness of water in your area and how often you use
the kettle. You should remove and clean the water lter when
you notice any deposits being left on the lter or if the pouring
eciency is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
- Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap,
cream or anything which might taint the water.
- Empty the kettle and remove the lter as shown in g. 1.
- Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (g. 2).
- Replace the lter (g. 3).
To clean the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good
working order.
- Use descaler for kettles. When limescale starts forming on
the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale
according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
After descaling, boil the kettle repeatedly with fresh water
and rinse thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues
of descaler which could damage the appliance. If the
lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in the same
descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using
the kettle.
