Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the kettle

•Unplug it.

•Leave it to cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

•Do not immerse the kettle, the power cord or the plug in water: the electrical connections and switch must not be brought into contact with water.

•Do not use scouring pads.

Cleaning the filter (depending on model) (fig. 6)

•The removable filter is made of mesh which traps particles of scale and prevents them from dropping into your cup when the water is poured. This filter does not treat and does not eliminate scale in the water. It simply preserves all of the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter will become saturated very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is damp, pass it under running water, and if it is dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale may not come loose: descaling must then be carried out.

Descaling

•Descale the kettle regularly, preferably at least once a month, or more often if your water is very hard.

Descaling the kettle:

•use 8% distilled vinegar that you can buy from most stores:

-fill the kettle with 20 cl of vinegar,

-leave it to act for 1 hour without heating.

•use citric acid:

-boil 1/4 l of water,

-add 12 g of citric acid and leave to act for 15 min.

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

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

Descaling the filter (depending on model):

•Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

•Do not use other descaling methods than that recommended.

Troubleshooting

THE KETTLE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DAMAGED.

•The kettle will not operate, or stops before the water boils:

-Check that your kettle is plugged in correctly.

-The kettle has been used without water, or scale has accumulated, causing the dry operation safety system to be triggered: leave the kettle to cool down, and fill with water.

Switch on with the ON/OFF button: the kettle will start to operate after approximately 15 minutes.

•The water tastes of plastic:

Generally this happens when the kettle is new, throw away the water from the first few uses. If the problem continues, fill the kettle to the maximum level, and add two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Boil the water and throw it away. Rinse the kettle.

IF THE KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS, IF THE POWER CORD OR THE PLUG OF THE KETTLE ARE VISIBLY DAMAGED.

•Return your kettle to your Tefal After Sales Service Centre, do not have it repaired by anyone else. See the warranty conditions and the list of service centres in the booklet provided with your kettle. The type and serial number are indicated on the bottom of your kettle. This warranty only covers manufacturing defects and domestic use. Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to respect the instructions for use are not covered by the warranty.

Tefal reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time, in the consumer's interest.

•Do not use the kettle. Do not attempt to dismantle the appliance or the safety devices.

•If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the After Sales service or a similarly qualified person so as to avoid danger.
