Removable Scale Filter
The kettle features a removable mesh filter to filter out scale deposits for clearer water.
Additionally the filter will prevent boiling water from splashing, when you pour the water.
Clean the filter regularly to avoid blockage of the mesh.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to remove the filter while the kettle is plugged in or hot. Handle
the mesh filter with care. Do not scratch, scrub or scrape on the mesh filter with hard or sharp
utensils to avoid damage.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance and allow to cool down. Open the kettle lid. Grasp
the upper bar of the filter and lift it up and out of the kettle.
2. Clean the mesh filter.
Rinse the filter under running water. Possibly use a nylon cleaning brush or sponge. If the
mesh is blocked with lime: leave the filter overnight in warm vinegar. Carefully rinse with
clear tap water.
3. To replace the filter, open the kettle lid and simply slide the filter in the correct orientation
down into the slots behind the spout of the kettle. Gently push the filter down until the filter
clicks into place.
