Removing scale
To remove mineral deposits from the kettle’s interior, dissolve 1 part vinegar
in 2 parts water, fill the kettle and heat the solution WITHOUT BOILING IT.
Leave the solution in the kettle for approx. 1 hour. Then pour out the liquid, fill
the kettle with fresh water and boil the water. Pour out the water and remove
residues with a moist cloth. Repeat this procedure often if the scaling is
heavy. Do not use any descaling agents intended for coffee makers or irons.
Attention! Descaling frequency depends on water hardness.
The appliance does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair
it by yourself. Have a professional perform any repairs.
Check the power cord often for damage. If the fixed cord is damaged, have it
replaced by a manufacturer, authorized service provider or a competent person to
avoid getting injured or shocked.
