WARNING!
Cleaning and maintenance
•
Always disconnect the Pyramid Kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
•
Never immerse the kettle, cord or power base in water. All connections and
sockets must be kept dry.
•
The outside of your kettle only requires occasional wiping with a damp cloth and
mild, non-abrasive household detergent, if necessary, then wipe dry.
•
To prevent damage to the kettle, do not use scouring pads, steel wool, solvents
or harsh chemical or alkaline cleaning agents.
•
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or
the juice from orange peel, or cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not allow
such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.
Removal of mineral deposits
From time to time, you may need to clean off any mineral deposits (limescale) left
by water inside your kettle to keep it operating efficiently. How often you have to
do this depends on the water hardness in your area and on how often you use the
Pyramid Kettle. If scaling is a problem in your area, it is important that you clean
the inside of the kettle regularly as scale build-up will damage the heating element
and impair the boil-dry safety feature.
You can use a commercially available descaling agent for household products
(according to the instructions on the packet) to descale the kettle, or a simple
water and vinegar solution and follow the steps below.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the remainder with water.
2. Let this mixture stand in the kettle overnight. Do not boil.
3. Empty the solution from the kettle. Any stains remaining inside the spout can
be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.
4. Fill the kettle with fresh, clean water, let it boil and then discard the water.
Repeat with clean, fresh water until all traces of vinegar are removed.
NOTE
The Pyramid Kettle takes approx. 15–20 seconds to turn off when boiling –
this is not a fault. Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without
water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch it off. If this should
occur, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
