CLEANING THE FILTER
CARE AND CLEANING
1
To access filter: Open the lid; the filter
is located behind spout inside Electric
Kettle. Grasp the top of the filter to
remove.
2
Clean under hot water with a soft brush
or cloth to remove deposits, and replace
filter by sliding the filter into the slot
behind the spout.
The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh filter that traps scale deposits for cleaner water.
The filter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of
water and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.
REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS FROM THE INTERIOR
To get the best performance from your Electric Kettle, decalcification will be necessary. Calcium
deposits may form on the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle. The cleaning interval will
depend on the hardness of the water you put in the Electric Kettle.
1
Fill the Electric Kettle with white vinegar
to the .25 L mark. Add water to the .75
L mark. Boil (100º C) and allow to stand
overnight.
2
Empty the solution from the Electric
Kettle.
