Clean the kettle

2. Clean the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and some mild cleaning agent.

Clean the filter
Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste. The filter is able to filter out scale build-up when pouring water. Clean the filter in one of the following ways:

• Take the filter out of the kettle and gently brush it with a soft nylon brush under a running tap;
• Leave the filter in the kettle when you descale the whole appliance (see chapter “Descale the kettle”).
• Take the filter out of the kettle and clean it in the dishwasher.

Descale the kettle
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the kettle. In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), the following descaling frequency is recommended:

• Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to 18dH).
• Once every month for hard water areas (more than 18dH).

1. Fill the kettle with water up to three-quarters of the maximum level and bring the water to the boil.
2. After the kettle has switched off, add white vinegar (8% acetic acid) to the maximum level.
3. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
4. Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly.
5. Fill the kettle with fresh water and boil the water.
6. Empty the kettle and rinse it with fresh water again.
7. Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the kettle.

Note

• You can also use an appropriate descaler. In that case, follow the instructions of the descaler.

Storage

Store the mains cord by winding it round the reel in the base of the kettle.
