4.5 Descaling
Regularly removing any deposits of scale
inside the kettle will prolong your kettle’s
life, ensuring maximum performance and
energy savings.
The kettle can be descaled using specific
descaling products.
Leave the descaling product to act, then
rinse thoroughly. Then boil at least two full
kettles of water, disposing of the boiling
water safely, to remove any residue of the
product before use.
Alternatively, you can use common
household vinegar.
Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the kettle with water (1 litre) and boil it.
2. Add the white vinegar (from 0.1 to 0.5 l
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.
Improper use
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Do not use descaling products for
cleaning bathrooms or kitchens, or
scented products.
Tips and suggestions for the user
• Scale build-up can cause the kettle to
switch off during use before the water
has boiled. Boiling times could also be
increased.
• If the kettle is used daily, or if it becomes
more difficult to pour out the water,
descale the kettle and filter more
frequently.
• In some regions the water is harder, and
in these areas it could have a cloudy
appearance and leave residue on the
walls of the kettle. In this case, clean the
inside of the kettle more frequently or
use purified/softened water.
