6. Descaling and cleaning
•
We recommend to descale the kettle at regular intervals depending upon the
intensity of use.
•
Before cleaning, pull out the power plug and wait until the appliance cools
down completely.
•
The anti-scale filter is located in front of the spout opening. Open the lid and
press the plastic tab of the anti-scale filter down to remove the filter.
•
Rinse the filter thoroughly using warm water and then replace it back into its
position.
•
When replacing, ensure that the anti-scale filter sits properly in the guide rail.
•
Please use only commercially available descaling agents based on citric acid
to descale the water container.
•
For the appropriate dosage, please refer to the specifications on the package
or insert of the descaling agent.
•
The heating plate should not be specifically cleaned. Do not use any hard
objects on the heating plate.
•
Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the kettle externally.
•
Do not use any abrasive items like wire brush or steel sponge for cleaning.
•
Never use any cleaning agents which may corrode the surface or present a
health risk if consumed!
•
Never immerse the device, the power cable or the plug in water or in any
other liquid to prevent risk of electric shock.
•
For devices with a limescale filter in front of the spout opening, please pro
-
ceed as follows: Open the lid and push the plastic tab of the limescale filter
downwards to remove the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly with warm water
and reinsert it into the posture. When inserting, make sure that the lime filter
is seated in the slide rail.
Use a rapid descaler if limescale is particularly stubborn or there are signs of flash
rust. Once limescale has accumulated, iron and oxidized iron particles settle into
the limescale layer. This often results in the reddish coloration that gives the ap
-
pearance that the actual material is rusting. However, if this is not done promptly,
the rust created by the oxidized iron particles in the lime can actually attack the
material of the kettle
