DESCALING
IMPORTANT: As this appliance
is fitted with a concealed
element, it must be descaled
regularly. The frequency of
descaling depends on usage
and the hardness of the water in
your area.
Excessive scale can cause the
appliance to switch off before
boiling and may damage the
element, invalidating the
warranty.
It is essential that regular
descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a
proprietary descaling product
suitable for stainless steel, glass
or plastic.
For stainless steel kettles,
please follow the instructions
carefully.
Alternatively, use citric acid
crystals (available from most
pharmacies) as follows:
1
Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil,
then unplug the appliance
(remove the cordless kettle from
the base unit) and stand it in an
empty sink or bowl.
2
Gradually add 50gm of citric
acid crystals to the water, then
leave the kettle to stand. Do not
use a more concentrated
solution.
3
As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the appliance
and rinse it thoroughly with cold
water.
4
Wipe the outside of the
appliance thoroughly with a
damp cloth to remove all traces
of acid which may damage the
finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the
electrical connections are
completely dry before using the
appliance.
