Care, Cleaning and Storage
Always switch appliance OFF, then switch off at the power outlet and then unplug before cleaning the appliance.
warning: Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power supply cord in water or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.
Cleaning the Exterior & Removable Filter
The exterior surface may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft clean dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.
caution: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning; use a soft cloth and mild detergents.
The filter fitted inside the kettle over the spout is removable by sliding in and out of position. The filter can be washed in warm, soapy water.
TIP: The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged.
NOTE: Ensure the kettle and water have cooled down before attempting to clean the filter.
Mineral Deposits and
Discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the concealed element interior base, discolouration due to mineral deposits will appear more obvious. The mineral deposits can leave a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration follow the cleaning instructions “Removal of Mineral Deposits”.
Removal of Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolour over time.
This may be removed by using a kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department and hardware stores.
Alternatively: Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the remainder (up to 2⁄3 of maximum) with water, boil and allow to stand overnight.
Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to the boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.
Storage
Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and dried before storing. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
