
Clean the exterior of the kettle (7) and the base (5) with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt add a
little detergent to the damp cloth. Make sure there are no detergent residues on the kettle (7) or the
base (5) before operating the electric kettle again. Dry the kettle (7) and base (5) well before using
the electric kettle again.
Descaling the electric kettle
Over time, limescale can build up in the kettle (7). This can result in energy loss and reduce the lifespan of
the electric kettle. Limescale should therefore be removed as soon as it becomes visible.
1. Use a descaling agent suitable for coffee machines and other household appliances. Proceed as
described in the instructions for using the descaling agent.
2. After descaling, rinse the kettle out multiple times with plenty of clean water.
Cleaning the scale filter
A scale filter (9) is installed in the kettle (7) that needs to be cleaned from time to time. Clean the scale
filter (9) as follows:
1. Remove the cooled kettle (7) from the base (5).
2. Remove the lid (1).
Risk of injury
The inside of the top of the kettle (7) has sharp edges. Be careful not to injure yourself when
you reach into the kettle!
3. Carefully reach into the kettle and hold your hand underneath the scale filter (9) so it can not fall into
the kettle (7).
4. Push your finger or a spoon handle from the outside into the spout of the kettle (7) to loosen the scale
filter (9). It should then fall in to your hand.
5. Place the filter into a warm descaling solution for household appliances (e.g. for coffee machines) for
a few hours and then rinse it well in clean water.
6. Insert the filter back into the kettle (7) from the inside.
7. Place the lid (1) back on to the kettle (7).
To remove stubborn dirt inside the kettle (7) you can use a long-handled dishwashing brush or
bottle brush.
When installing the filter, look into the spout of the kettle (7) from the front. This will enable
you to position the filter correctly. Once you have aligned the filter centrally, press it gently
against the spout until it clicks into position.
