7. Cleaning and descaling

Pull the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down com-
pletely.

You can clean the exterior of the water container using a damp cloth. The interi-
or of the device only requires rinsing with clean water.
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNING!
Do not operate the device without the filter inserted
because otherwise boiling water could spray out.

Do not clean the base plate. Never use hard objects on the base
plate and do not immerse it in water.
7.1. Descaling
In order to prolong the product service life and to keep the boiling time as short as
possible, the kettle must be regularly descaled (approx. once a week). We recom-
mend an environmentally friendly descaling process using vinegar or citric acid:
Vinegar

Add a dose of vinegar (ratio of 1:3) to half a litre of water.

Leave the liquid to work in the device for approx. 1 hour; do not boil the liquid.

Empty the water container and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
Citric acid

Boil half a litre of water.

Add approx. 25g of citric acid. Leave the liquid to work for approx. 15 minutes.

Empty the water container and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
If you want to use a commercial descaler (chemical product), observe the instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer of the product.
