Cleaning the filter

The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh filter that traps scale deposits for cleaner
water. The filter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
To access filter: Open the lid; the
1
filter is located behind spout inside
Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of
the filter to remove.
NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water
and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.
