water filter
12 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance.
The filter will prevent these particles going from the kettle into your drink. If you see
deposits on the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop,
your drinks may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.
cleaning the filter
13 Check your hands are free from soap, hand cream, or anything that might leave a
taint.
14 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
15 Open the lid.
16 Push the top of the filter down and back, into the kettle, to release the tabs on the
top of the filter from the mount behind the spout, then lift the filter out of the kettle.
17 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
18 Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.
19 Lower the filter into the kettle, and engage the bottom of the filter in the hook
below the spout.
20 Press the filter forward, towards the spout, to force the tabs on the top of the filter
under the mount behind the spout.
21 Close and lock the lid.
descale regularly – even in soft water areas
22 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible on
the walls or floor of the kettle.
23 Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
24 All scale causes overheating, reduces the life of the elements, and may trigger the
boil-dry cut-out.
25 So, even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep the kettle in working order.
26 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
27 Follow the instructions provided with the descaler regarding ventilation of the room,
as some descalers are a bit smelly.
procedure
28 Because of the dispenser, descaling is a bit different to what you’re used to.
29 Fill the kettle, put it on the stand, and boil it.
30 Add the descaler to the kettle.
31 Sit a 240ml cup on the cover, and switch the dispenser on – this will move the fresh
water out of the dispenser reservoir, and fill it with descaler.
32 Empty the cup, and replace it on the cover.
33 Leave the descaler to work for however long is recommended in the descaler
instructions.
34 Empty the kettle, rinse it three times, then fill it to
max
with fresh water.
35 Operate the dispenser three times – this will flush the descaler out, then rinse the
dispenser reservoir.
36 Fill the kettle again, and you’re ready for normal use.
