•
The body of the appliance and the stand should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water
enter the electrical parts of the appliance or the stand.
•
Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance as it can be
damaging to the finish.
•
To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy
water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Descaling
The kettle should be cleaned regularly to remove scale. Particular attention should also be paid to
the following:
•
Only boil as much water as you need. This reduces scale formation and coffee and tea will
taste better with fresh water.
•
Brushing the heating element with a normal washing-up brush once a week for example will
slow the formation of scale on the heating element.
•
In the event of visible signs of scale formation or at least once a month, the kettle should be
descaled. One indication that the kettle should be descaled is that the heating time becomes
longer or the kettle switches off too soon.
•
Hard scale on the heating element should be removed with a solution of citric acid crystals. It
is very important that the user instructions for the citric acid crystals are followed carefully,
that the agent is poured out of the kettle after the specified period of time and that the water
from the first couple of uses after descaling are discarded.
•
Never switch off the kettle by pulling the plug out of the socket and never touch the switch
with wet hands.
•
If after descaling a lot of scale remains on the heating element, the kettle should be
descaled again. Descaling should then be carried out more frequently in future.
•
The kettle cannot be washed in a dishwasher.
•
Do not use sharp objects when descaling/cleaning the heating element on the bottom of the
kettle.
Failure to remove the scale regularly could damage the kettle beyond repair. Damage caused in
this way is not covered by the guarantee.
Water filter:
•
Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance.
•
The filter will prevent these particles going 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.
