To clean the filter (fig. 5)
• The removable filter is made of a fabric that holds the particles of scale and prevents
them from falling into your cup when pouring. This filter does not treat or remove
the scale from the water. It thus preserves all the qualities of the water. With very
hard water, the filter saturates very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it
regularly. If it is wet, run it under the water, and if it is dry, brush it gently. Sometimes
the scale does not come off easily: you need to carry out a descaling process.
Descaling
• Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month, more often if your water is very
hard.
To descale your kettle:
• Use white vinegar which can be bought from hard-ware stores.
- fill the kettle with 1/2 L vinegar
- leave for one hour, cold.
• Commercial descaler specifically for kettles. Follow the instructions on the packet.
• Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary
To descale your filter:
• Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use another method of descaling than the one recommended in this guide.
In case of a problem
Your kettle shows no apparent damage
• When you connect the kettle to the base, no beep can be heard and the digital display
remains off
- Make sure the kettle is properly connected to its base.
- Check that the base is connected to the mains.
- Disconnect and reconnect the appliance after a few seconds
• If there is still no display, return the appliance to your nearest TEFAL after sales service
centre.
• The beep sounds continuously for 5 seconds.
- The kettle has been used without water or there is an accumulation of
scale, triggering the safety system that guards against boiling dry: leave
the kettle to cool for a few minutes, then either:
- If the kettle has been used without water, triggering the safety system
that guards against boiling dry: leave the kettle to cool, fill it with water.
Turn the power on using the switch: the kettle begins to operate after
about 15 minutes.
- If scale has accumulated: descale the kettle. Refer to the section entitled
DESCALING.
• The water has a plastic taste:
- This usually happens when the kettle is brand new. Discard the water you
boil the first few times. If the problem persists, fill the kettle up and add two
teaspoons of baking soda. Boil the water and discard it. Rinse the kettle.
If your kettle has fallen, if it is leaking, or if the power cord, plug or base
are visibly damaged
• Return your kettle to the nearest TEFAL After-sales Service Centre, the only
organisation with authorisation to carry out repairs.
• See the guarantee terms and list of centres in the booklet that came with your kettle.
The type and serial number are indicated on the bottom of your kettle. The guarantee
covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only. Any breakage or damage
resulting from failure to follow these instructions for use shall not be covered by the
guarantee.
TEFAL reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles
at any time in the interests of the consumer.
Do not use the kettle. No attempt should be made to dismantle the appliance or
safety devices.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after
sales service or any person with similar qualifications, in order to avoid all danger.
Preventing domestic accidents
• For a child, even a slight burn can sometimes be serious.
• As they grow, teach your children to pay attention to the hot liquids that can be found
in a kitchen. Put the kettle and cord well towards the back of the work surface, out of
the reach of children.
• If an accident happens, place cold water immediately on the burn and call a doctor
if necessary.
To avoid injury: do not carry your child or your baby when you are drinking or carrying
a hot beverage.
