3. Lime scale deposits
-
Lime scale is a calcareous deposit, which naturally forms when water is heated.
-
It can be found mostly adhered to the heating element.
-
Lime scale is not harmful to your health but if poured into your beverage it can give a
powdery taste to your drink.
-
The scale filter is designed to prevent these scale particles from being poured out by trapping
them within the kettle.
4. Cleaning the scale filter
-
To avoid an excessive amount of lime scale building up inside your kettle, it is important that
both the kettle and filter are cleaned on a regular basis.
-
Scale can be removed from the filter by running it under a tap whilst gently brushing with a
soft nylon brush, or by soaking the filter in vinegar or a proper descaling agent.
5. Descaling
Do this to properly clean and deodorize the kettle (with normal use at least twice a year).
-
Fill the kettle up to ’MAX’ with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two parts water. Switch on
and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
-
Let the mixture stand overnight.
-
Throw the mixture away the next morning.
-
Fill the kettle with clean water up to ‘MAX’ and boil again.
-
Throw away this boiled water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar. Rinse the inside of the kettle
with clean water.
