CARE AND CLEANING
B
efore cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down.
1. The outside : Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
-
Do not use abrasives – they will scratch the plastic surfaces.
-
Do not use scouring powder, or any other cleaning products as they
may discolor your kettle.
2. The inside : Wipe with sodium bicarbonate on a damp cloth. Rinse
thoroughly. Even though your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to
clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.
3. The filter :
Either
rinse under the tap or use a soft brush.
or
when descaling
your kettle, drop the filter in too. Rinse thoroughly.
4. In hard water areas, it is necessary to remove scale, and water deposit
markings in the kettle as this can cause premature operation of the boil dry
switch. There are various kettle cleaners/kettle descalers which remove
scale and markings available from supermarkets, pharmacies, and other
stores.
DESCALING
1. When limescale builds up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler
and descale your kettle.
2. Limescale makes your kettle take longer to boil and can make the element
burn out. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard.
Clean any descaler off the kettle – it can damage the parts.
3. Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water
look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal
but can be removed with regular cleaning.
4. The warranty will not cover a kettle that is damaged due to not descaling.
5.
Discoloration of the internal part of the kettle due to water conditions
in your area will not be regarded as a malfunction.
6. It is recommended that you clean your kettle regularly.
PROBLEM SOLVING
1. Kettle switches off before it has boiled.
- Generally caused by scale build up inside, and can be resolved by
descaling.
- Alternatively, the kettle may have accidentally been used without water or
insufficient water, causing the safety cutout device to operate. Re-set as
explained below.
