Cleaning and maintenance
C
Always allow the kettle to cool down completely
before cleaning!
1 Unplug the kettle from the mains.
2 Remove the filter (8) and rinse it under running water.
3 Clean the outside surfaces with a soft damp cloth and
washing-up liquid.
In order to remove the build-up of hard water film from the
outside and inside walls of the kettle, wipe them with a damp
cloth and vinegar.
4 Rinse the kettle with fresh water.
Various black-coloured, rusty, milky, etc.
deposits may form inside the kettle and float on
the water. This is caused by minerals occurring
naturally in water (calcium, magnesium, iron,
etc.). Such discoloration is not caused by faulty
operation of the appliance and does not affect
its use. In case of substantial accumulation of
mineral deposits, proceed as described in the
“Descaling” section.
Descaling
In the event that scale builds up on the bottom of the kettle,
it needs to be removed. For this purpose use 6-10% vinegar
or citric acid.
●
Open the lid by pressing the lid release button (5) .
●
Add 0.5 l of vinegar or 40 g of citric acid and fill the kettle
with water up to the maximum level. Switch on the kettle.
●
Bring the mixture to boil and allow the kettle to stand for
30 minutes.
●
Empty the kettle and rinse it with fresh water.
●
Remove the filter (8) and rinse it under running water.
Replace the filter.
●
Fill the kettle with fresh water, boil the water and empty
the kettle.
●
If sediment is still visible in the kettle, remove it with
a sponge and rinse the kettle again. If unsuccessful,
repeat the descaling process.
The kettle should be descaled periodically to
avoid its possible damage.
