Scale filter

The kettle features a mesh filter attached to the lid that removes scale deposits for cleaner water. To clean the scale deposits on the filter, fully open the lid, hold the handle and run it under hot water and rub with a cleaning cloth or brush.

The concealed element is made from high quality stainless steel. Any brown stains appearing are the result of mineral deposits and are not rust.

Note

The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged.

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water gauge to discolour over time. This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department stores and hardware stores.
