Cleaning and maintenance
To clean your kettle
• Disconnect the appliance.
• Leave it to cool and then clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water or
any other liquid. The electrical connections or the switch must not come into
contact with water or any other liquid.
• Do not use scouring pads.
To clean the filter
• The filter is removable. (fig. 9)
• The removable filter consists of a 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 will not impact the quality or taste 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; if so, it will then
need descaling.
Descaling
Descale your kettle regularly, preferably once per month or more often if you
live in a hard water area.
To descale your kettle
• Either use commercial white vinegar:
- Fill the kettle with 0.5 L of vinegar
- Leave it in the kettle for 1 hour without heating.
• Or citric acid:
- Boil 0.5 L of water
