CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Filters

• The removable filter serves to capture scale deposits and prevent them from getting into the prepared beverage. Regularly clean the filter under running water using a fine nylon brush or submerge it for several hours into a vinegar-water solution (recommended dilution ratio 1:2). After applying the solution rinse the filter under clean running water.

Cleaning the Kettle

• Regularly remove water scale deposits from inside the kettle based on how frequently the kettle is used. During standard use of the kettle (3 to 5 times per day), we recommend to remove water scale deposits:
  • once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
  • once every two to three months in areas with soft and medium soft water.
• To remove water scale deposits it is possible to use:
  • 8% white vinegar, generally available in stores. Put ½ l of vinegar into the kettle and allow it to settle for 2 hours without boiling. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to five times.
  • citric acid. Boil ½ l of water in the kettle, into the boiled water add 30 g of citric acid and allow it to settle for about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to five times.
• To clean the exterior of the kettle use a dry cloth or a cloth dipped in a weak solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth and then wipe dry.
• To clean the base use only a dry cloth.
• To clean the kettle and the base never use cleaning agents causing abrasion, petrol, solvents, etc.
