CLEANING YOUR KETTLE

Always unplug the kettle from the power source before cleaning. Wipe outside of the cooled

kettle and lid with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Do not immerse the kettle body,

power base, control panel, power cord, or electrical plug in any liquid. Do not use abrasive cleans-

ers or scouring pads.

CLEANING YOUR FILTER

The removable spout lter is made of a ne mesh that prevents mineral (scale) particles from

being poured out with the water. It should be cleaned every 10-25 uses to remove scale build-up.

To remove the lter, unplug the cooled kettle from its power source and open the lid. With the

spout facing you, hold the lid with one hand and the lter with the other. Pull the lter gently but

rmly sideways and downwards until it pops out.

Rinse the lter under running water or brush it gently with a cleaning brush until clean. If any

residue remains, you can soak the lter in a small amount of white vinegar or diluted citric acid

solution and then rinse thoroughly. Replace the lter by inserting one side rst and pushing up

gently and rmly to pop the other into place.

DESCALING YOUR KETTLE

With regular use, mineral deposits from your water naturally build up inside your kettle, especially

on the surface of the stainless steel heater. Regular descaling (1-2 times per month, depending on

the hardness of your water) using one of the following methods will remove this residue and keep

your kettle looking and working its best.

Descale with White Vinegar

1. Unplug the kettle and ll with 0.5L (2 cups) of white vinegar.

2. Let sit for 1 hour. Do not heat.

3. Empty and rinse thoroughly with clean water 5-6 times.

Descale with Citric Acid

1. Fill the kettle with 0.5 L (2 cups) of water and boil.

2. Add 25 g (5 tsp) citric acid powder to the water and let sit for 15 minutes.

3. Empty and rinse thoroughly with clean water 5-6 times.

Descale with a Commercial Descaling Product

1. Choose a descaler designed for kettles and follow the product instructions.

KEEP WARM AND MEMORY FUNCTION

In Keep Warm mode, the kettle remembers your selected temperature and automatically resumes

heating any time the water drops to 5°C below it. While Keep Warm mode is active you can lift the

kettle o its base and return it up to 8 times without the temperature setting returning to

defaults. The Warm button will ash continuously to indicate that Keep Warm mode is active.

After 2 hours, the Keep Warm function will end and the kettle will enter standby mode.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

If the kettle boils dry or is started with insucient water (below the MIN ll line), it will automati-

cally switch o to prevent overheating. If this occurs, unplug the kettle from the power source and

allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes, then rell and try again.
