CARE & CLEANING
CARE & CLEANING Always unplug the appliance from the power
outlet before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The Breville Soft Top™ Kettle features a
removable mesh fi lter to remove scale
deposits for cleaner water. To remove the
scale deposits from the fi lter, open the lid
and slide the fi lter up and out of the kettle.
The fi lter can be cleaned by running under
hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth
or brush. To replace fi lter, simply slide the
fi lter down into the slot behind the spout of
the kettle and push back into position.
NOTE
The fi lter could become damaged
with time. Please check regularly and
replace if found damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of
the kettle is made from high quality
stainless steel. Any brown stains
appearing are the result of mine ral
deposits and are not rust.
NOTE
To operate correctly, the kettle should
always be used with the scale fi lter
fi rmly in place.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
the kettle interior and water gauge to
discolor over time. This may be removed by
using a proprietary kettle descaler which is
available from most leading supermarkets,
department and hardware stores.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle until two-thirds full with 1
part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and
allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill
the kettle with clean water, bring to boil
and discard the water. Repeat and the
kettle will be ready for use.
WARNING
Never immerse the kettle base, switch
area, power base, power cord or power
plug in water, or allow moisture to
come into contact with these parts.
WARNING
Do not remove the diffuser ring located
on the base inside the kettle.
TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, alkaline
cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive
cleaners to clean the inside or outside
of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning
agent with a soft damp cloth.
STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is switched off, clean and
dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed
and locked securely 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.
