Scale filter
The kettle comprises a lime filter in the spout. Remove the filter for cleaning in
the following way: Open the lid of the kettle and carefully push the filter down
and then outwards. Now the lime on the filter can be brushed off under running
water using a soft dish brush or you can immerse it into the descaling liquid for a
few minutes, when you do your regular descaling of the kettle. Put the filter back
into the notches in the spout and press it into place.
It is very important that the lime filter is cleaned before it is all dressed in lime,
which will prevent the water from passing through the filter and seep along the
sides at the lid, which may cause scalds.
Descaling and cleaning
Clean the kettle at regular intervals for scale and be aware of the following:
• Only boil the necessary amount of water – to save current. Empty the kettle
after each use. This will reduce the amount of scale, and coffee and tee,
brewed on fresh water, have a better taste.
• Check the status of scale often. If there is scale in the kettle, use one of
the ordinary descaling means – such as e.g. citric acid. Do not use ordinary
household vinegar for descaling of the kettle. It is extremely important to
carefully follow the instructions of the product and that the product is poured
out after the duration of action and that the water used for the first couple of
boiling after descaling is not used.
• If there is still a lot of scale left on the heating unit, descale the kettle again
and make sure to descale regularly in the future.
• The descaling process is accelerated by heating the liquid to about 50-60°C.
IMPORTANT: Do not use sharp objects for descaling/cleaning of the heating
unit at the bottom of the kettle. If you do not descale the kettle at regular
intervals, the kettle will be damaged. Such damage will not be covered by
the warranty.
The exterior of the kettle can be wiped with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent.
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring powder or other
aggressive detergents that may scratch the surface of the kettle. Do not put the
kettle or the base in the dishwasher.
Disposal of the appliance
