CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.
„ „
Unplug it.
„ „
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
„ „
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
„ „
Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER
„ „
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent
them from falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes
the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very
hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it
regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes
the scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling.
„ „
Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is
very hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To descale your kettle.
„ „
Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
–
„
Fill the kettle with 0.5 L of white vinegar,
–
„
Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
„ „
Using citric acid:
–
„
Boil 0.5 L of water,
–
„
Add 0.88 Oz of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
„ „
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To descale your filter.
„ „
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
„ „
Never use a de-scaling method other than what is recommended above.
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
„ „
The kettle does not work
–
„
Check that your kettle is properly connected.
–
„
The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has
caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with
water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
„ „
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
