Cleaning and maintenance
CAUTION: Always disconnect the kettle from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is cold. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth
to preserve its original highly polished nish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or other liquid, and be sure that the electric kettle plug (6)
and connector (5a) of the power base (5) is kept dry.
a)
Filter / Spout (7)
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when hard water is boiled. The lter is projected to re-
tain the calcium of water. It is important to clean the lter regularly. The mesh of the lter is xed inside the
spout. To clean it deep a small brush in vinegar and gently brush inside the spout. Rinse under running water.
ATTENTION: This operation can be performed only when the kettle is not working and when the kettle
has cooled down. BOILED WATER AND STEAM CAN BURN!!!
b)
Decalcication
Decalcication refers to removing the calcium/scale deposits which may form in the interior metal parts
of the kettle. TO GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR KETTLE, DECALCIFY YOUR UNIT FROM TIME TO
TIME. Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the kettle. We suggest
to do it every 100-200 boiling cycles, or every two weeks or every time you see white spots on the inter-
nal bottom surface of the kettle: it means that there is limestone sediment. We suggest use of a kettle
descaler in order to dissolve these chalky deposits or lime build up. Follow the instructions on the descaler
package. By the way BUGATTI suggests the following natural way: if a commercial descaler is not available,
ll the kettle with 500 ml (16,90 US oz/ 17,59 UK oz) white vinegar and 500 ml (16,90 US oz/ 17,59 UK oz)
water. Use a soft brush together with vinegar to clean to help to remove the chalky deposit. Bring the vi-
negar to a boil. You may need to repeat this several times with cooled vinegar to remove the calcium build
up completely. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with
clean water. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
