Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance

Always switch off the appliance and unplug it before cleaning.
Any servicing of this product should be performed by an authorized service representative.
CLEANING
Always unplug the kettle base before cleaning the kettle. If the kettle is still warm,
allow for it to cool down first. To clean, use a soft, wet cloth or sponge to wipe the sur-
face of the kettle. If there is a stubborn spot, use a natural detergent, but do not use a
rubbing compound or powdered abrasive which can scratch the finish. Do not get the
base of the kettle wet! Do not leave any cleaning residue inside the kettle.
CAUTION
: NEVER GET THE BASE OF THE KETTLE IN WET. THIS BASE HAS ELECTRI-
CAL COMPONENTS AND SHOULD NEVER COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER.
DETACHABLE FILTER
The kettle has a detachable filter. If it requires cleaning, wait until the kettle is cool
and press the lid release button to lift up the lid. Then, remove the detachable filter in
the spout area for cleaning and place it back into the kettle.
DECALCIFYING
If the appliance stops boiling water effectively or switches off before reaching a boiling
point, this is a sign that decalcifying may be necessary:
1. Fill the kettle with vinegar and water (equal mixture) and boil it. Keep it below
MAX. Do not overfill.
2. Unplug the kettle and allow the boiled mixture to stay in the kettle overnight.
3. Pour out the remaining liquid the next morning.
4. Boil a full kettle of just water (no vinegar).
5. When boiling is finished, carefully empty the kettle and boil another round of
fresh water.
6. Carefully empty the kettle and give it plenty of time to cool down.
7. Open the lid to the kettle and clean the inside using a cloth.
STORAGE
If your unit will not be used for more than a few days, be sure to completely dry the
kettle, inside and out before storing it. This will prevent any spots or rust-like forma-
tion.
