• The removable filter is made of
mesh which traps particles of scale
and prevents them from dropping
into your cup when the water is
poured. With very hard water,
the filter will become saturated
very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is
important to clean it regularly. If
it is damp, pass it under running
water, and if it is dry, then brush it
gently. Sometimes the scale may
not come loose: descaling must
then be carried out.
Descaling
• Descale the kettle regularly,
preferably at least once a month.
Descaling the kettle:
• use 8% distilled vinegar that you
can buy from most stores:
− fill the kettle with 20 cl of
vinegar,
− leave it to act for 1 hour
without heating.
• use citric acid:
− boil 1/4 l of water,
− add 12 g of citric acid and
leave to act for 15 min.
• use a specific descaling agent
for plastic kettles: follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Empty your kettle and rinse it 5
or 6 times. Repeat the operation if
necessary.
Descaling the filter (depending
on model):
• Soak the filter in white vinegar or
diluted citric acid.
• Do not use other descaling
methods than that recommended.
TROUBLESHOOTING
THE KETTLE DOES NOT SEEM TO
BE DAMAGED.
• The kettle will not operate, or
stops before the water boils:
− Check that your kettle is
plugged in correctly.
− The kettle has been used
without water, or scale has
accumulated, causing the dry
operation safety system to be
triggered: leave the kettle to cool
down, and fill with water.
Switch on with the ON/OFF button:
the kettle will start to operate after
approximately 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally this happens when the
kettle is new, throw away the
water from the first few uses. If the
problem continues, fill the kettle to
the maximum level, and add two
teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of
soda. Boil the water and throw it
away. Rinse the kettle.
IF THE KETTLE HAS BEEN
DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS, IF THE
POWER CORD OR THE PLUG
OF THE KETTLE ARE VISIBLY
DAMAGED.
