DE-SCALE REGULARLY – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS
Water contains minerals that will form deposits on the inside of your kettle, commonly
referred to as scaling. Scaling discolours the internal surfaces and can affect
the performance.
To maintain the performance of your kettle, it should be de-scaled every three months or so.
De-scale more frequently if you live in a hard water area.
• Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of citric acid or a commercial de-scaler to the empty kettle.
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow the kettle to boil.
• Once the water has boiled allow the kettle to cool.
• Once the kettle has cooled, discard the water into the sink.
RINSE AFTER DE-SCALING
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow the kettle to boil.
• Discard the water into the sink.
• Repeat the rinsing process 3 times, discarding the water in the kettle each time.
NOTE: Products returned under warranty with faults due to scale may be subject to a
repair charge.
WATER FILTER
Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter
will prevent these particles going into your drink. Remove and clean the filter regularly.
CLEANING THE FILTER
• Open the lid.
• Grip the top of the filter and pull it up as far as it will come. This will release the bottom
hook and loosen the pressure on the side hooks.
• Pull the filter into the kettle, to release the side hooks from the spout, and lift it out of the kettle.
NOTE: Take care not to press on the mesh part of the filter – you may damage it.
• Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
• Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.
• Lower the filter into the kettle, and engage the bottom hook in the bottom of the spout.
• This will locate the filter in a bout the right position.
• Slide the filter upwards until the side hooks are at the top of the space behind the spout.
• Push the filter towards the spout to engage the side hooks.
• Slide the filter down to re-engage the bottom hook.
• Close the lid.
CAUTION: Do not use the kettle without the filter in place – it may spit boiling water.
