(fig 4)
6 The kettle has a on/off light.
7 The kettle will switch off automatically.
As soon as the water reaches boiling point. You can stop it manually, before removing it from
its base to pour the water. The interior light and the indicator light will go out when the water
reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and
that the kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
Cleaning your kettle.
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean the outside with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
Do not use scouring pads.
Cleaning the filter. (fig 5)
The removable filter consists of mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them from
falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the
water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog
very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running
tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then need
descaling.
To remove the anti-scale filter, lift the unit to kettle off its base and allow to cool. Never remove
the filter when the appliance is full of hot water. Open the lid then pull the filter out of the spout
and clean it.
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
Using white vinegar:
- fill the kettle with 19 Oz of vinegar,
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
- boil 19 Oz of water,
- add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
To de-scale your filter:
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
