Dry Boil Shut-Off Protection
If you turn the kettle on without water in the kettle, the heater will shut off after a
few seconds. Allow the kettle to cool down before filling with water.
Cleaning
• Always unplug the cord from the outlet before cleaning.
• Wrap the cord around the kettle and secure using the cord clip. (Fig. 2)
• Make sure kettle is cold.
• Removable scale filter located in the spout can be pulled up and out for
cleaning. (Fig. 3) Run the filter under hot water and rub with a cleaning cloth
or brush. Place scale filter back into spout after cleaning and drying.
• Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, chemical cleaners or scouring
agents to clean the kettle.
• Rinse out kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
• Over time the metal on the inside of the kettle may change color slightly.
This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element, especially if the
kettle was turned on repeatedly without water. This will not diminish the
performance of the kettle in any way.
• If your water has a high calcium content, calcium deposits might dull the
inside. Follow the instructions below for decalcification.
Decalcification
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle that can slow down boiling
time. Use a commercial descaling agent, like Capresso Cleaning Solution and
follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE:
Make sure kettle is cold.
Use of Capresso Cleaning Solution
Dissolve half a packet (½ oz or 14 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution with 16 oz.
(0.5 L) of water and pour mixture into kettle. Allow mixture to sit inside the kettle
for 20-30 minutes. Pour water and Cleaning Solution out and rinse the kettle
2-3 times with fresh, clean water. DO NOT heat the kettle while descaling with
Capresso Cleaning Solution.
Use of Vinegar
You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside of the kettle. Fill the kettle
with 1 cup of water (8 oz) and add 3 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a
boil. Discard the solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse the kettle once or
twice with fresh cold water.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Troubleshooting
Kettle switches on and off during use or turns off before boiling is complete.
• Check that the heating element is free of any limescale build up.
• Regularly descale the kettle as described in Decalcification section.
• Check that enough water was added to the kettle before boiling.
