■ The removable filter serves to capture scale deposits and prevent them from getting into the prepared beverage.
Regularly clean the filter under running water using afine nylon brush or submerge it for several hours into
avinegar-water solution (recommended dilution ratio 1:2). After applying the solution rinse the filter under
clean running water.

2hours without boiling. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to five times.
– citric acid. Boil ½ l of water in the kettle, into the boiled water add 30 g of citric acid and allow it to settle for
about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to five times.
