5 CLEANING & CARE
Cleaning the outside and base unit
1. Remove plug from the mains socket and
allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit of the
appliance in water.
3. Clean the base unit and outside of the
appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth.
A little detergent can be added if needed.
4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any
form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents to clean the appliance;
they may damage the outside surfaces of
the appliance.
De-scaling
Important: Failure to de-scale your kettle may
invalidate your guarantee.
If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the
build-up of limescale may result in the following:
•
The kettle taking longer to boil.
•
Damage to the heating element.
•
The safety cut out may operate prematurely,
switching the kettle off before the water has
boiled.
To minimise scale build-up:
Empty the kettle of water after each use.
Do not allow water to stand in the kettle
overnight.
Using filtered water instead of tap water will help
to reduce limescale build up.
How to de-scale:
Any regular de-scaling agent may be used,
provided the relevant instructions are observed.
Do not fill the kettle to the upper mark to avoid
spillage if the de-scaling agent causes the water
to foam.
To clean the kettle thoroughly of any
de-calcification residues let it go through several
boiling cycles using clean water.
