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.

CLEANING THE FILTER (ACCORDING TO THE MODEL) (fig 9)

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. 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 the 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 a 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

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service center or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.

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.
