CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Be sure the product is turned OFF and DISCONNECTED from the power
socket outlet. Let the product cool after use and before cleaning.
2. Clean the exterior of the product by wiping with a slightly dampened (not
wet) soft cloth. Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened (not wet) with
soapy water or a mild, non- abrasive cleaner. Avoid the use of scouring pads,
harsh detergents, solvents, polish, abrasive or aerosol cleaners as they may
damage surfaces of the product. Dry with a clean, soft cloth before storage, or
reconnecting to the power outlet.
3. From time to time, depending on the nature of your water supply, you may
need to clean the inside of the kettle. This can be done in the following
manner:
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Your kettle should be periodically descaled as the mineral deposits in tap water
may form scales on the bottom of kettle which can result in reduced efficiency.
You can use a commercially available descaler and follow the instructions on
the descaler packaging. Alternatively, you may follow the instructions below
using white vinegar.
Fill the kettle with a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water to the full
mark. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
Then discard the mixture in the kettle, fill the kettle with clean water to
the maximum position, boil and then discard the water. Repeat several
times until the odour of the vinegar has been removed. Any stains
remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp
cloth.
WARNING: The use of descalers containing phosphoric acid, sulphamic acid,
or their equivalents must not be used as they may damage your kettle.
CLEANING THE SPOUT FILTER
The following steps can be applied only when the kettle is switched OFF,
removed from the power outlet and the kettle including water are cool.
1) Remove the lid and lift the filter out from its location in the spout inlet.
2) Wash the filter in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3) Insert the filter back into the body making sure it is correctly located.
