DECALCIFICATION
In areas with a high calcium content in the
water supply, the Kettle should be
decalcified at regular intervals.
•
Fill the Kettle with a solution of 16 oz.
water and 10 tablespoons of vinegar and
bring to a boil.
•
When process is complete, rinse the
Kettle twice with clean water.
•
Commercially available liquid
decalcifiers may also be used. Follow
the instructions provided with decalcifier
by its manufacturer.
Regular decalcification will keep the
Kettle operating at peak performance and
electrical efficiency. It will also extend the life of the Kettle.
Over time slightly brownish stains may appear inside of the Kettle. This is not rusting
of the Kettle, it is a result of high iron content in the water supply, often referred to as
boiler scale. These stains can be easily wiped away with a cloth or mild abrasive. Rinse
Kettle thoroughly after decalcification or cleaning.
SCALE FILTER
To prevent loose particles of limescale being poured into your beverage, the Kettle is
equipped with a scale filter behind the spout (Fig. 2). The filter is removable for
cleaning and replacement. Do not operate the kettle without this filter in place. If this
filter is removed, the function of the steam switch will be compromised.
