1. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power
base in water and never allow moisture to get in
contact with these parts.
2. Wipe the outside of the body with a damp cloth or
cleaner. Never use a poisonous cleaner.
3. Remember to clean the filter on a regular basis.
For easier cleaning, detach the filter by pulling it
upwards. 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. 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.
