8 - Cleaning & Care
Cleaning The Outside and Base Unit:
1. Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other liquid.
3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A
little detergent can be added if needed.
4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents to clean the appliance; they may damage the outside surfaces of the
appliance.
De-Scaling:
IMPORTANT: Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee. If you do not
de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of lime-scale may result in the following:
• The kettle taking longer to boil.
• Damage to the heating element.
• The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the
water has boiled.
To Minimise Scale Build-Up:
• Empty the kettle of water after each use.
• Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Using filtered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale build up.
How To De-Scale:
Note: Should the appliance switch off before reaching boiling point this is a sign that de-
scaling is necessary.
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are
observed. To avoid spillage,
DO NOT fill the kettle to the upper mark if the de-scaling
agent causes the water to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcification residue; let it go through several
boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water
afterwards.
• It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.
Removing Limescale Build-up:
If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.
