Regularly removing any deposits of scale inside the kettle will prolong your kettle's life, ensuring maximum performance and energy savings. The kettle can be descaled using commonly available descaling products.
In this case, leave the product to act, then rinse thoroughly. Then boil at least two full kettles of water, disposing of the boiling water safely, to remove any residue of the product before use.
Alternatively, you can use common household vinegar.
Proceed as follows:
1. Po
ur vinegar up to the minimum
level
mark o
n the kettle.
2. Add water
up to the second mark.
3. B
oil the kettle, then leave it to ac

5. Fill the
kettle with water and boil it. Empt
y
the

peat this operation at least twice.
Tips and suggestions for the user
• Scale build-up can cause the kettle to switch of
f during
use before the water
ha
s boiled. Boiling times could also be
increased.
• If the kett
le is used daily, or if it
becomes
more diffi
cult to pour out the water, descale the kettle and filter more frequently.
In some regions the water is harder
, and
in the
se areas it could have a cloudy appearance and leave residue on the walls of the kettle. In this case, clean the inside of the kettle
more frequently or
us
e purified/softened water.
