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, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other
liquid.
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 lime-scale 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 lime-scale 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.
