The first two or three times that you use the kettle, throw the water away because it may contain foreign particles.Rinse the kettle and filter separately.

Cleaning

To clean your kettle

Unplug it.

Leave it to cool and then clean with a soft damp sponge.

Certain models are equipped with a bottom surface or a heating element which is gold-plated to limit scale deposits and facilitate cleaning.

Never immerse the kettle or its base in water, as the electrical connections and the switch must not be allowed to come into contact with water.

Never use abrasive cleaning pads.

Never rub the "gold" coating as this will damage its surface.

To clean the filter (depending on model)

The removable filter is made up of fabric which retains the particles of scale and stops them from falling into your cup when you pour. This filter does not treat the water or remove the scale from it. It therefore preserves all the qualities of the water.

With very hard water, the filter becomes clogged with scale very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly.

If it is wet, rinse it with water, and if it is dry, scrub it gently. Sometimes the scale does not come away; if so, descaling is necessary.

Descaling

Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month and more frequently if your water is very hard.

To descale your kettle, use:

white vinegar :

-fill the kettle with half a litre of vinegar,

-leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

citric acid :

-boil half a litre of water,

-add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 minutes.

a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles : follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary

To descale your filter (depending on model:

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid. Rinse thoroughly with water before putting back in the kettle.

Never use descaling methods other than those recommended.
