FILTER
The filter provided is made of mesh retaining scale deposits. The filter does not remove the
scale, but it prevents any deposits from getting inside the kettle while the water is being
poured in. The filter should be cleaned regularly. Hard water may block the filter after boiling
water a couple of times. The filter can be removed and rinsed with water or cleaned with a soft
brush.
