CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and let it cool down com-
pletely before cleaning.
1. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water, or allow moisture
to come into contact with these parts.
2. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth or cleaner. Never use a toxic
cleaning product.
3. Remember to clean the filter at intervals. For easier cleaning, detach the filter
and then replace it after cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean
the outside of the kettle to prevent gloss loss.
4. When not in use or in storage, the power cord may be wound around the base of
kettle.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Your kettle should be periodically descaled, as the mineral deposits in tap water may
form limescale inside the bottom of the kettle and thus cause it to operate less ef-
ficiently. You can use a commercially available descaler and follow the instructions
on the package of descaler. Alternatively, follow the instructions below to use white
vinegar.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar, then add water to the amount so as to
cover the bottom of kettle completely. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
2. Discard the mixture in the kettle, fill the kettle with clean water and then boil
and discard the water. Repeat several times until the odour of vinegar has been
flushed away. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing
with a damp cloth.
