Always unplug your tea maker/kettle from the mains supply socket and allow it
to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not immerse your tea
maker/kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
Clean the exterior surface of your tea maker/kettle with a damp cloth and then polish
with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners. This will
damage the finish.
Clean the interior of your tea maker/kettle with a soft bristled brush such as a dish
brush. A little detergent may be used but be careful to thoroughly rinse the detergent
out after cleaning.
Clean the tea carriage and infuser in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly then dry.
Descale your tea maker/kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. Use a
proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Cleaning the filter
Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off your tea maker/kettle and empty
it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the mains supply
socket. Never operate your tea maker/kettle without the filter fitted.
Remove the filter from behind the spout.
Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft brush.
In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale the filter using a descaling
agent. Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully. The filter may be washed safely in the cutlery rack of a dishwasher.
Refit the filter back into your tea maker/kettle.
