Ensure the switch is free of obstructions
and the lid is firmly closed: the kettle could
not properly turn off if the switch is constrained or
if the lid is open.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
1. Wipe the outside of the body with a damp cloth or
cleaner. Never use a toxic cleaner.
2.
Remember to clean the filter on a regular basis.
For easier cleaning, detach the filter by by pulling it
upwards (see pic. 1). Then replace it after cleaning.
Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or
abrasive cleaners or brushes to clean the
outside of the kettle to prevent any gloss loss.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL
DEPOSITS
Your kettle should be periodically descaled, as the mineral
deposits in tap water may form scale on the bottom
of the kettle and cause a less efficient operation. You
can use any commercially available descaler. Hotpoint
recommends WPro Descaler. Follow the instructions on
the package of the descaler. Alternatively, you may follow
the instructions below and use white vinegar.
1. Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the
appliance (remove the cordless kettle from the
base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
Gradually add 50ml of white vinegar to the water.
Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
2.
Discard the mixture in the kettle, fill the kettle with
clean water, boil and then discard the water. Repeat
several times until the smell of vinegar has been
flushed away. Any stains remaining inside the spout
can be removed by rubbing it with a damp cloth.
