Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the kettle

Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appli- ance from the mains before cleaning.

Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.

Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.

DO NOT use harsh scouring agents.

Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.

Scale

Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies. “Hard” water con- tains more of this mineral than “soft” water.

When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, mak- ing the water appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin film on the walls, element and on the surface of the water.The water may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic floating on the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white “crust” which adversely affects performance and reduces the life of the element.

As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when clean- ing the filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.

Scale filter

Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter to prevent loose particles of scale being poured into your beverage.This filter is both removable and washable.

The frequency with which you will need to clean any scale deposits from your filter will depend on the hardness of water in your area and how often you use the kettle.

You should remove and clean the water filter when you notice any deposits being left on the filter or if the pouring efficiency is impaired.

Removing the scale filter

Allow the kettle to cool down fully.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.

Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap, cream or anything which might taint the water.

Empty the kettle and remove the filter by pushing as shown in fig. 1.

Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (fig. 2).

Replace the filter (fig. 3).
