MAINTENANCE AND CARE

SCALE FILTER

Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when hard water is boiled. The filter serves to retain the calcium in the water kettle.

CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER

It is important to clean the filter regularly. The filter clips into the body and can be removed by pulling it upwards from the body. It cam be cleaned by gentle brushing with a soft brush under running water.

KETTLE CLEAN AND DECALE

Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions care- fully), or citrid acid.

We recommend using citric acid as follows:

Boil 1 litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals gradually, then leave the kettle to stand.

As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of citric acid which may damage the finish.

Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists.

Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.

Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to clean the exterior of the kettle.

Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth.

Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an electrical applicant.

STORAGE

Excessive cord length can be stored on the cord retainer

(6) in the base unit (5).

Note: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off when you are not using the kettle.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
