Always remove the kettle from the base before you clean the kettle.

Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scourers etc. to clean the kettle.

Cleaning the kettle and the base

1Clean the outside of the kettle and the base with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and some mild cleaning agent.

Do not let the moist cloth come into contact with the cord, the plug and the connector of the base.

Cleaning the filter

Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste.The anti-scale filter prevents scale particles from ending up in your drink.

Clean the Triple action anti-scale filter regularly in the following way:

1Take the entire filter out of the kettle (Fig. 14).

2Slide the basket off the filter and take the stainless steel mesh out of the basket.

3To clean the mesh, squeeze and rotate it under a running tap.

4Gently clean the filter with a soft nylon brush.

5Put the mesh back into the filter basket and slide the basket onto the filter again.Then slide the filter back into the kettle.

Note:You can also clean the filter in two other ways. Leave the filter in the kettle when you descale the kettle (see section ‘Descaling the kettle’) or remove it from the kettle and clean it in the dishwasher.
