FILTER REMOVAL/CLEANING/REFITTING
Important:
The kettle must be switched off “O”, disconnected from the power outlet and
allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use exces-
sive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.
1. Empty the kettle and open lid.
2. Hold lid open with one hand and grip the top part of the filter with index finger and
thumb. Caution: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter.
3. To remove filter simply pull sideways. This will disengage the filter from its guides.
4. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.
5. To refit filter, once again hold lid open with one hand and filter with index finger and
thumb. Gently push filter back into the kettle until it fits snugly in its guides. Be sure to
fit the bottom tab of the filter snugly in the center guide. This will center the filter in the
spout, ensuring a good fit. Once the tab is in the front guide, push the filter forward to
snap it into place.
6. Rinse out kettle with fresh water, and it’s ready for use.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE
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
1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup water. Let it sit overnight.
2. Empty the vinegar solution from the kettle. Remove any stain remaining inside by
rubbing with a damp cloth.
3. Fill the kettle with clean water. Place kettle on power base and bring to a boil, then
discard water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready to use.
4. The kettle will not operate again until the on/off switch “I/O” is pressed upward.
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 any
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.
