Cleaning The Outside and Base Unit:
1. Remove the 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 the 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, as they may damage the outside
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the Filter:
This kettle is equipped with a filter. This filter should be cleaned regularly.
To clean the filter, first detach it from the kettle by pressing down the filter tab.
Remove the filter, rinse it under cold running water and leave it to dry.
Note: Ensure the filter has thoroughly dried before placing it back into the unit.
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 limescale 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.
• Use filtered water instead of tap water to help reduce lime-scale build up.
How To De-Scale:
Note: Should the appliance switch off before reaching boiling point this is a sign
that de-scaling is necessary. Take care to dispose of this solution and rinse out
the kettle before attempting to boil again. DO NOT boil the de-scaling solution.
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions
are observed.
• For a natural de-scaling solution, fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and
the remainder in water. Leave this solution to stand overnight.
• 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 the kettle go
through several boiling cycles using clean water.
Storing the Unit:
When not in use, store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably inside its original
packaging.
When not using the kettle, the power cord may be stored in the corresponding slot
at the bottom of the kettle.
