3. Clean the scale filter with a damp dishcloth and in running water.
4. Insert the scale filter until it locks in place with an audible click.
Descaling
1. After some time, lime deposits will form on parts of the kettle (depending
on the hardness of the water used). These should be removed at regular
intervals; otherwise, the power consumption of the appliance will increase.

3. Remove the scale filter by lifting it out of the kettle. If there are lime deposits
in the filter, place it into the kettle during descaling.
4. Fill descaler into the kettle. Use commercially available descaler, e.g. des-
caler for coffee machines. Follow the instructions on the packaging of the
descaler. For details on the further steps refer to the instructions for use of
the descaler. After descaling, rinse the kettle several times, if necessary.
