Cleaning and maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the outside surfaces of the kettle in good condition, clean them regularly after each use after allowing them to cool down. Pour the cleaning product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.
Improper use: Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia, or bleach.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products, stain removers, and metallic scourers).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

4.2 Descaling
Improper use: Risk of damaging the appliance
Do not use descaling products for cleaning bathrooms or kitchens or products that contain perfumes.
Regularly removing scale deposits from inside the kettle will prolong your kettle’s life, ensuring maximum performance and energy savings.

The kettle can be descaled using specific descaling products. Follow the descaler instructions. Alternatively, you can use common household vinegar.
Proceed as follows:

1. Fill the kettle with water (0.5-0.6 liters) and boil it.
2. Add white vinegar (0.1 to 0.2 liters depending on the amount of scale).
3. Leave it to act overnight.
4. Empty the kettle.
5. Fill the kettle with water and boil it. Empty the kettle, disposing of the water safely. Repeat this at least twice.

Tips and suggestions
Frequent use or very hard water increases the risk of scale. Scale build-up can cause the kettle to switch off during use before the water has boiled. Boiling times could also increase. If the kettle is used daily, descale it more frequently. If the water is hard, clean more frequently or use purified water.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
