If the fuse still cuts off the heating unit before the water is boiling, return the kettle to where
it was bought.
Scale filter
The kettle comprises a lime filter in the spout. Remove the filter for cleaning in the following
way: Open the lid of the kettle and carefully push the filter outwards and lift it up. Now the
lime on the filter can be brushed off under running water using a soft dish brush or you can
immerse it into the descaling liquid for a few minutes, when you do your regular descaling of
the kettle. Put the filter back into the notches in the spout and press it into place.
It is very important that the lime filter is cleaned before it is all dressed in lime, which will
prevent the water from passing through the filter and seep along the sides at the lid, which
may cause scalds.
Nickel free
The kettle has a hidden heating unit of stainless steel and does therefore not release nickel.
Descaling and cleaning
Clean the kettle at regular intervals for scale and be aware of the following:
•
Only boil the necessary amount of water – to save current. Empty the kettle after each
use. This will reduce the amount of scale, and coffee and tee, brewed on fresh water,
have a better taste.
•
Check the status of scale often. If there is scale in the kettle, use one of the ordinary
descaling means – such as e.g. citric acid. Do not use ordinary household vinegar for
descaling of the kettle. It is extremely important to carefully follow the instructions of the
product and that the product is poured out after the duration of action and that the water
used for the first couple of boiling after descaling is not used.
•
If there is still a lot of scale left on the heating unit, descale the kettle again and make
sure to descale regularly in the future.
•
The descaling process is accelerated by heating the liquid to about 50-60°C.
iMpORtANt: Do not use sharp objects for descaling/cleaning of the heating unit at the
bottom of the kettle. if you do not descale the kettle at regular intervals, the kettle will
be damaged. Such damage will not be covered by the warranty.
The exterior of the kettle can be wiped with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent. Wipe with
a dry, soft cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring powder or other aggressive detergents
that may scratch the surface of the kettle. Do not put the kettle or the base in the dishwasher.
