CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: Never immerse the kettle, stand or cable in water
during cleaning.
Disconnect the kettle from mains power and ensure it has
•
cooled before cleaning it.
Main body
Wipe the main body clean with a slightly damp cloth.
•
Dry thoroughly before use.
•
Never clean the kettle with scourers, abrasive pads or
chemicals.
Cleaning the filter
A mesh filter is located inside the spout to trap loose limescale
particles. This should be cleaned regularly if limescale collects
on the filter surface.
Locate the filter inside the kettle, just behind the spout.
•
Pull the top of the filter upwards.
•
The filter will unclip.
Lift the filter from the kettle.
•
Rinse the filter in warm water and brush it if necessary to
•
remove any limescale deposits.
To re-fit the filter, slide it into the guides behind the spout.
•
Press the top to click it into place.
•
De-scaling
In hard water areas, lime-scale deposits may appear on the
inside surface of the kettle. These can be removed by regular
de-scaling each month.
Fill the kettle with three cups of white vinegar and the
•
remainder with water. Allow to stand overnight and do not
boil.
Empty the kettle and use a damp cloth or sponge to remove
•
any remaining scale or stains.
Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to the boil, then discard
•
the water. Repeat this process and the kettle will be ready
to use.
De-scaling products may also be used. Follow the maker’s
instructions to make and use the de-scaler.
Clean the body of the kettle after de-scaling.
