DESCALING

Always ensure that the kettle is disconnected from the mains before descaling. Scaling or furring is a common problem in hard water areas. It is recommended that a propriety descaler be used whenever scale deposits build up. The instructions supplied with the descaler must always be followed. Scale build up may result in the kettle switching off before boiling. Using a water purifier will help to reduce scale build-up.

Ensure that you descale your filter at regular intervals to avoid impairing the pouring performance of your kettle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

•Always disconnect the plug from the mains before cleaning the kettle and base. Wipe the kettle and base with a moist cloth. Never use an aggressive scourer, steel wool of strong chemical cleaners.

•Descale the kettle regularly. This will depend on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use. Scale build up will significantly reduce the heating efficiency of the kettle.

•Use of a proprietary descaler for kettles is recommended. Follow the instructions provided carefully.
