descaling
l
Regular descaling of the flat element
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:
l
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
l
the kettle may take longer to boil.
l
the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
l
When limescale starts to build up on
the heating element, buy a suitable
descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water
several times and discard. Clean
any descaler off the kettle - it can
damage the parts.
