CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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 filter can be removed. (fig. 8)
■ The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup
when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It 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.
DE-SCALING
■ De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
TO DE-SCALE YOUR KETTLE.
• Using white vinegar:
- Fill the kettle with 19 Oz of vinegar,,
- Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• Using citric acid:
- Boil 19 Oz of water,
- Add 2 tablespoons of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• Use a de-scaler specificaly for stainless steel kettles: follow the manufacturer's instructions.
■ Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
TO DE-SCALE YOUR FILTER.
■ Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
■ Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
■ The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil:
- 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.
■ The water tastes of plastic:
- Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the problem
persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of baking soda. Bring to the boil and discard the
water. Rinse out the kettle.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE
POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE
■ Do not use the kettle. No attempt must be made to dismantle the kettle or its safety devices.
■ Return your kettle to your After-Sales Service Centre, only they are authorized to carry out repairs. See the
warranty conditions and list of centers in the booklet supplied with your kettle. The type and serial number are
shown on the bottom of your kettle.
This warranty covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only.
Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions booklet is not covered by the
warranty.
■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service center or a similarly
qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.
■ The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time in the
interests of the consumer.
