CLEANING AND CARE
Before cleaning, always turn
off the appliance and unplug it
from the electrical outlet.
Allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning it.
1. Do not immerse the base, power
cord or kettle in water or other
liquids or wash them in the dish-
washer.
2. Wipe off the base and the kettle
with a damp cloth and a little
dishwashing detergent. Do not
use any abrasive scouring agents,
steel wool, metal objects, hot
cleaning agents or disinfectants,
since they can damage the appli-
ance.
3. The appliance must be comple-
tely dry on the outside before you
use it again.
DESCALING
1. To keep the appliance operating
efficiently and to prolong its ser-
vice life, it should be descaled
regularly, depending on the hard-
ness of your water.
2. The lime scale filter has to be
cleaned regularly. Please empty
the kettle completely and allow it
to cool off. Carefully remove the
filter from the pour spout. Clean
the filter carefully with a soft
brush under running water. You
can also place the filter in a bowl
with a descaling solution. Then
rinse the filter with clear water
and insert it in the pour spout.
3. Use off-the-shelf descaling pro-
ducts for electronic kettles and
comply with the manufacturer’s
instructions. To descale, fill the
kettle half full, maximum, other-
wise the liquid can boil over and
can cause severe injuries.
4. Heat the liquid (do not boil!) and
allow it to sit for some time in the
electronic kettle.
5. Pour the descaling solution out of
the kettle.
6. Then fill it with fresh water and
bring to a boil. Pour this water out
as well. Then rinse out the kettle
at least twice with clean water.
