Cleaning and maintenance

To clean your kettle

Disconnect the appliance.
Leave it to cool and then clean it with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water or any other liquid. The electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water or any other liquid.
Do not use scouring pads.

To clean the filter

The filter is removable.
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them from falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It will not impact the quality or taste 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; if so, it will then need descaling.

Descaling

Descale your kettle regularly, preferably once per month or more often if you live in a hard water area.

To descale your kettle

Either use commercial white vinegar:
- Fill the kettle with 0.5 L of vinegar
- Leave it in the kettle for 1 hour without heating.
Or citric acid:
- Boil 0.5 L of water
- Add 25 g of citric acid and leave it in the kettle for 15 min.
Using a descaler specifically for kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions.
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

To descale your filter

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than what is recommended above.

In the event of problems

There is no evident damage to your kettle

The kettle does not work or stops before coming to a 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 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 maximum and add two teaspoons of baking soda. Bring to a 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:

Do not use the kettle. No attempt must be made to dismantle the kettle or its safety devices.
Return your kettle to an approved KRUPS service centre; the only qualified body authorised to carry out repairs. See the guarantee conditions and list of centres in the booklet supplied with your kettle. The type and serial number are shown on the bottom of your kettle.
- This guarantee covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only.
- This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.
Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instruc-tions for use is not covered by the guarantee.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service centre or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the characteristics or compo-nents of its kettles at any time in the interests of the consumer.

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 be aware of hot liquids found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work sur-face, out of the reach of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink.

Environmental protection

Let’s all help protect the environment! Your appliance contains many recoverable or recyclable materials. Take it to a local, civic waste collection point. The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires that all used household appliances are not dispo-sed of along with ordinary household waste. Used appliances must be collec-ted separately in order to maximise recovery and recycling of their constituent parts and thus reduce their impact on health and the environment.
