Cleaning and Descaling Your Kettle
1.
With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water and
rinse. Allow kettle to cool. The mesh filter may be removed
by pressing inward through the spout with a finger. The filter
will drop into kettle cavity.
To insert the filter into the spout, position the filter with tabs
toward spout and press filter until it fits into place.
2.
To avoid scale/lime deposit build-up, empty kettle after
each use.
3.
Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or powders as they may scratch
the smooth surface of the kettle.
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUIDS.
Troubleshooting
• Have you switched the power switch to the ON (
I
) position?
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without water,
or allowed to boil dry? Wait 20 minutes and try again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged in the electrical outlet and
kettle? For the cord-free kettle, is it firmly seated in base?
• Is the plug itself faulty? It is dangerous to use a broken
or damaged plug.
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it may need descaling.
