CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the
electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER
The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and
prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor
removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water.
With very hard water, the lter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is
important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then
brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself, it will then need
de-scaling.
To remove the anti-scale lter, lift the kettle o its base and allow to cool. Never
remove the lter when the appliance is full of hot water.
DE-SCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your
water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle using white vinegar:
ll the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar
leave to stand for 1 hour without heating
To de-scale your kettle using citric acid:
boil 1/2 L of water
add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
using a de-scaler specically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To de-scale your lter:
Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
