good condition, clean them regularly after
use after allowing them to cool down.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and
clean the surface, wipe thoroughly once
more and then dry with a soft cloth or a
microbre cloth.
Improper use (risk of damage to surfaces):

appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach.

sharp metal scrapers.

(Fig. B).
2) Wash the lter under running water
with the aid of a soft brush.
3) Put the lter back in position behind the

4.3 Descaling
Improper use: Risk of damaging the
appliance
Do not use descaling products for
cleaning bathrooms or kitchens or
products that contain perfumes.
Regularly removing scale deposits from
inside the kettle will prolong your kettle’s
life, ensuring maximum performance and
energy savings.
The kettle can be descaled using specic
descaling products. Follow the descaler
instructions.
Alternatively, you can use common
household vinegar. Proceed as follows:
1) Fill the kettle with water (1 litre) and boil
it.
2) Add white vinegar (0.1 to 0.5 litres
depending on the amount of scale).
3) Leave it to act overnight.
4) Empty the kettle.
5) Fill the kettle with water and boil it.
Empty the kettle, disposing of the water
safely. Repeat this operation at least
twice.
Tips and suggestions for the user
Frequent use or very hard water
increases the risk of scale.
Scale build-up can cause the kettle
to switch off during use before the
water has boiled.
Boiling times could also increase.
If the kettle is used daily, descale
it more frequently. If the water is
hard, clean more frequently or use
puried water.
