The Particulars of Boiling Water
Troubleshooting
Descaling
YOUR KETTLE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY IF IT IS NOT DESCALED REGULARLY.
The warranty is voided if descaling is not carried out in accordance with these instructions.
Scale is a naturally occurring buildup of mineral deposits. The ideal descaling cycle
depends on water hardness. Descale the Kettle every 60 uses. Regular descaling can also
increase the service life of the Kettle, allowing it to boil water faster with less energy.
1.
Fill Kettle with descaling solution and water to the “MAX” marking.
NOTE :
Available where household cleaning products are sold; follow solution’s recommended use.
2.
Bring solution to a boil.
3.
Turn Kettle OFF, unplug from outlet and let stand for at least 30 minutes.
4.
Remove mesh spout filter and rinse clean.
5.
Empty Kettle and rinse out any remaining solution.
6.
Fill Kettle with water to “MAX” marking, boil, and discard water before next use.

Water will not boil
Kettle is plugged in but
will not turn on
Kettle is pouring too
slowly
Kettle is taking longer
than usual to boil
Check to make sure the Kettle is filled past the “MIN” mark.
If the Kettle is plugged in and turned on without any water
in it, it will automatically shut off to prevent overheating.
The Kettle will be able to turn on again in a few minutes,
after it cools back down to a safe temperature.
Check the removable filter in the spout for clogging. If
necessary, clean the filter with a soft-bristled brush and
rinse with warm water.
Your Kettle might need to be descaled. See below for
descaling instructions.
