cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter,
simply slide the filter down into the slot
behind the spout of the kettle and push back
into position.

The filter could become damaged
with time. Please check regularly and
replace if found damaged.

of mineral deposits and are not rust.

1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and

the kettle with clean water, bring to boil
and discard the water. Repeat and the
