Descaling
Lime scale deposits on the bottom of
the kettle result in loss of energy and
can affect the service life of the appli-
ance. The appliance switches off before
boiling if the layer of scale is too thick.
It is then very difficult to remove.
The appliance should be descaled regu-
larly depending on the level of the
water hardness. Use a standard des-
caler following the directions; prefera-
bly choose an environmentally friendly,
descaling agent suitable for stainless
steel according to the instructions
from the manufacturer.

thoroughly with clean water. Never
pour descaling agents into an enamel
sink and do not reuse them.
