FILTER REMOVAL/CLEANING/REFITTING
Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power outlet and
allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use
excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.

3. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.
4. To refit filter, once again hold filter with index finger and thumb. Gently push filter
back into the kettle until you hear a click. The filter is now reattached. Gently tug on
filter to ensure filter is attached properly.

CARE AND CLEANING
1. Mineral deposits in tap water may cause scale deposits to form inside the electric
kettle after frequent use. To remove this scale build-up, fill the kettle with a solution of
3 cups of white vinegar and 3 cups water. Let sit overnight.
2. Empty the vinegar solution from the electric kettle. Remove any stain remaining
inside by rubbing with a damp cloth.
3. Fill the electric kettle with clean water. Place kettle on power base and bring to a boil,
then discard water. Repeat and the electric kettle will be ready to use.
4. The electric kettle will not operate again until the on/off switch is pressed downward.
5. Always remove kettle from power base and disconnect power base from electrical
outlet before cleaning. Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or other liquid.
6. The outside of the electric kettle can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.
NOTE: Never use any chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean any part of the
kettle, including the power base.
