1 – SCALE FILTER (2)
MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when hard water
is boiled. The filter (2) serves to retain the calcium in the water kettle.
2 – CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER
It is important to clean the filter (2) regularly. The filter (2) clips into the
body and can be removed by pulling it upwards from the body. It can
be cleaned by gentle brushing with a soft brush under running water.
3 – KETTLE CLEAN AND DECALE
Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product suitable
for plastic kettles (following the instructions carefully), or citric acid.
We recommend using citric acid as follows:
Boil 1 l/34 oz litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand it in an
empty sink or bowl. Add 50 gm of citric acid crystals gradually, then
leave the kettle to stand.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse
it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the kettle thor-
oughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of citric acid which
may damage the finish.
Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the electrical
connections are completely dry before using the kettle. Citric acid
crystals are available at most chemists.
Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.
Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to clean the
exterior of the kettle.
Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth.
Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an electrical
applicant.
4 – STORAGE
NOTE: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off when you
are not using the kettle.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
