CARE & CLEANING

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

REMOVABLE FILTER

The Breville Soft Top™ Kettle features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and out of the kettle.

The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push back into position.

NOTE

The filter 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 mineral deposits and are not rust.

NOTE

To operate correctly, the kettle should always be used with the scale filter firmly in place.

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.

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.

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.
