CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DESCALING
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.
Unplug your kettle.
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 (fig 11).
The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them
from falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor removes the hardness
of the water. Using the lter will not change water quality. With very hard water, the lter
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 lime scale will not detach
itself; it will then need descaling.
Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very
hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To descale your kettle.
Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
–Fill the kettle with 2 cups (0.5 L) of white vinegar,
–Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
–Boil 2 cups (0.5 L) of water,
–Add 1 3/4 tablespoons (0.88 ounces) of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To descale your filter.
Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than what is recommended above.
