Cleaning
Descaling
To clean your kettle
Unplug it. Leave it to cool and then clean with a soft
damp sponge.
Certain models are equipped with a highly polished
bottom surface to limit scale deposits and facilitate
cleaning.
• Never immerse the kettle or its base in water, as the
electrical connections and the switch must not be allowed
to come into contact with water.
• Never use abrasive cleaning pads.
• Never rub the highly polished surface as this will damage it.
To clean the filter (depending on model)
The removable filter is made up of fabric which retains
the particles of scale and stops them from falling into
your cup when you pour. This filter does not treat the
water or remove the scale from it. It therefore preserves
all the qualities of the water.
With very hard water, the filter becomes clogged with
scale very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to
clean it regularly.
If it is wet, rinse it with water, and if it is dry, scrub it
gently. Sometimes the scale does not come away; if so,
descaling is necessary.
Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month and
more frequently if your water is very hard.
To descale your kettle,
use:
• white vinegar
- fill the kettle with half a litre of vinegar
- leave to stand for 1 hour
without heating
• citric acid:
- boil half a litre of water
- add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand
for 15 minutes.
• a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles:
- follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times.
Repeat if necessary.
To descale your filter (depending on model):
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Rinse thoroughly with water before putting back in the
kettle.
• Never use descaling methods other than those
recommended
