CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the lter
The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh lter that traps scale deposits for cleaner
water. The lter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
To access filter: Open the lid; the
1
filter is located behind spout inside
Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of
the filter to remove.
NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water
and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.
Clean under hot water with a soft
2
brush or cloth to remove deposits,
and replace filter by sliding the filter
into the slot behind the spout.
Removing mineral deposits from the interior
To get the best performance from your
Electric Kettle, decalcication will be
necessary. Calcium deposits may form on
the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle.
The cleaning interval will depend on the
hardness of the water you put in the
Electric Kettle.
Fill the Electric Kettle with white
1
vinegar to the .25 L mark. Add water
to the .75 L mark. Boil (100º C) and
allow to stand overnight.
Empty the solution from the
2
Electric Kettle.

Fill the Electric Kettle with water, bring
