7. After you fi nish using the kettle, disconnect the power cord from the el. power socket. Empty the kettle and

PART 5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord from the el. power socket. Empty the variable temperature kettle
and allow it to cool down.
Cleaning the fi lters
•
The removable fi lter serves to capture scale deposits and prevents them from getting into the prepared
beverage. Regularly clean the fi lter under running water using a fi ne nylon brush or submerge it for several
hours into a vinegar & water solution (recommended dilution ratio 1:2). After applying the solution, rinse the
fi lter under clean running water.
Cleaning the variable temperature kettle
•
Regularly remove water scale deposits from inside the variable temperature kettle based on how frequently
the kettle is used. During standard use (3 to 5 times per day), we recommend water scale deposits be
removed:
–
once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
–
once every two to three months in areas with soft and medium hard water.
•
To remove water scale deposits it is possible to use:
–
8% white wine vinegar, generally available in stores. Put ½ l of vinegar into the kettle and allow it to
settle for 2 hours without boiling. Then empty the variable temperature kettle and before further use
boil clean water in it four to fi ve times.
–
citric acid. Boil ½ l of water in the kettle. Into the boiled water add 30 g of citric acid and allow it to
settle for about 30 minutes. Then empty the variable temperature kettle and before further use boil
clean water in it four to fi ve times.
•
To clean the external parts of the variable temperature kettle use a dry cloth or a cloth lightly dipped in
a weak solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the surface with
a lightly damp cloth and then wipe dry.
•
To clean the base use only a dry cloth.
•
To clean the variable temperature kettle and its base, never use cleaning agents causing abrasion, petrol,
solvents, etc.
