CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
•
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water or any other liquid: the
electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water or any other liquid.
•
Do not use scouring pads.
4. POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.
5. TO START THE KETTLE
Press the on/off button positioned on the bottom of the handle.
(fig 4)
6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
as soon as the water reaches boiling point. You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to
pour the water. The indicator light will go out when the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the
on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it
from its base.
• Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
DE-SCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
• Using white vinegar:
– Fill the kettle with ½ l of vinegar,
– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• Using citric acid:
– Boil ½ l of water,
– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• Using a de-scaler specifically for kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
•
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
• The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil
– Check that your kettle is properly connected.
– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the
overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale
has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the
problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring
to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE
POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE
