9 THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
as soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature. You can stop it manually, before removing it
from its base to pour the water. Depending on the model, the interior light and the indicator light will go out when
the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the
kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
Cleaning and maintenance
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch
must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER (ACCORDING TO THE MODEL) (FIG 9)
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup when
pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the
water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it
is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then
need descaling.
• To remove the anti-scale filter, lift the kettle off its base and allow to cool. Never remove the filter when the
appliance is full of hot water
De-scaling
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
• using white vinegar:
- fill the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar,
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• using citric acid:
- boil 1/2 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 (according to model):
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
