- Never boil the kettle with the Removable Limescale Filter removed. It must be attached to the kettle at all times.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this appliance is fitted with a concealed element it must be descaled regularly. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the appliance to switch off before boiling and may damage the element, invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling takes place. We recommend descailing your kettle every month. Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for stainless steel, glass or plastic. Please follow the cleaning products instructions carefully. If you wish to descale the inside of the kettle, you may remove the Lid (2). Removing the Lid is not otherwise necessary for normal use of the kettle.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the appliance.
