Care and cleaning
9
Always switch off at the power outlet, and then
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
Scale filter
The kettle features a mesh filter attached to the lid
that removes scale deposits for cleaner water. To
clean the scale deposits on the filter, fully open the
lid, hold the handle and run it under hot water and
rub with a cleaning cloth or brush.
The concealed element is made from high quality
stainless steel. Any brown stains appearing are
the result of mineral deposits and are not rust.
Note
The filter could become damaged with time, please
check regularly and replace if found damaged.
Note
Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle
interior and water gauge to discolour over time. This
may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler
which is available from most leading supermarkets,
department stores and hardware stores.
