into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling.

DE-SCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.

To de-scale your kettle:

•Using white vinegar:

–– Fill the kettle with ½ l of vinegar,

–– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

•Using citric acid:

–– Boil ½ l of water,

–– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.

•Using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

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

To de-scale your filter (according to model):

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

•Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

•The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil

–– Check that your kettle is properly connected.

–– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale

has accumulated.

Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.

• The water tastes of plastic:

Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.

IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE
