DESCALING
nFor best performance, descale regularly. The amount of scale that develops depends on the hardness of your water and how frequently the kettle is used. Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month, more often if your water is very hard. Keep in mind that you may have to descale more often than indicated based on your water.
To descale your kettle or filter:
nAlways unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
nUse plain white vinegar at room temperature. When descaling the kettle, fill with 2 cups of white vinegar and leave for one hour without heating. For the filter, remove the filter from the spout, and soak with 1 cup of white vinegar for one hour in a small cup or bowl.
nRinse kettle and filter very well with room temperature water multiple times until completely clean. Repeat if necessary and allow to dry before next use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF YOUR KETTLE SHOWS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE
nWhen you place the kettle on the base, no beep sounds and the display remains off.
-Check that the kettle is placed flat on the base and that the base is plugged in.
-Unplug the base, wait a few minutes, and plug in again. If there is still no beep or no display, consult your nearest KRUPS After Sales Service Center.
nThe beep sounds continuously for 5 seconds.
-The kettle has been used without water or there is an excess of limes- cale, triggering the safety override.
-If the kettle was used without water: leave the kettle to cool for a few minutes and allow the safety override to reset. Fill the kettle with water and turn on, the kettle will begin to operate after the safety override has reset (approx 15 minutes).
