water filter
13 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance.
The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on
the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks
may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.
cleaning the filter
14 Check your hands are free from soap, hand cream, or anything which might leave a
taint.
15 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
16 Open the lid.
17 Press the top of the filter gently down and back, into the kettle, to release the tabs
on top of the filter from the catches above the spout, then lift the filter out of the
kettle.
18 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
19 Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.
20 Fit the bottom of the filter into the groove at the bottom of the spout (inside the
kettle), then press the top of the filter gently towards the spout, to engage the tabs
on top of the filter with the catches above the spout.
21 Close the lid.
caution
don’t use the kettle without the filter in place – it may spit boiling water
