CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

  • Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
  • Do not use scouring pads.
  • Do not wipe the display while plugged in, it may cause unexpected start-up.
  • Please note that the silicone seal on the lid is not removable, do not pull on the seal when cleaning the lid.

CLEANING THE FILTER (fig 5) The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling 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. 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.
Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To de-scale your kettle:

  • Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
    • Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,
    • Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
  • Using citric acid:
    • Boil ½ litre of water,
    • Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
  • Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

To de-scale your filter:
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
    • 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.
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

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.

  • In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink
