TO DE-SCALE YOUR KETTLE.
• Either using commercial white vinegar (8°):
- Fill the kettle with 0.5 L of vinegar,
- Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• Or citric acid:
- Boil 0.5 L of water,
- Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• Using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
■
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
TO DE-SCALE YOUR FILTER.
■
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
■
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
■
The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil:
- Check that your kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out
to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated. Switch it on: the
kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
■
The water tastes of plastic:
- Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the problem
persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discard
the water. Rinse out the kettle.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
■
For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
■
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and
its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children.
■
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
■
In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot
