Proceed as follows in order to clean the removable limescale filter:
· Switch off the device, remove the plug from the socket and allow the kettle to cool down.
· Open the lid. Hold the limescale filter tight and press the locking hook down with light pressure to remove it.
· Clean the filter using warm water and a mild detergent.
· Then dry it with a clean cloth.
· Now, reinsert the filter by first inserting the lower hook and then snap the top hook into place. Make sure
that it is in the correct position.
· Make sure that the appliance is completely dry before using it again or storing it.
Decalcifying
From time to time, it may be necessary to decalcify your water kettle. The intervals are determined by the
lime content of your water. In the event of a small amount of lime having deposited itself in the water
container, we recommend using citric acid or vinegar for carrying out a gentle decalcification. If the
appliance switches off before the water boils, it probably needs to be decalcified.
· Fill the kettle up to the rim with a solution of citric acid or vinegar (in case of an intense calcification a
decalcification agent should be used).
· Allow the kettle to stand until the lime has completely dissolved.
· Pour off a part of the solution until the liquid level is between the 500 ml and the MAX marking. Bring the
solution to a boil at and pour it away afterwards.
· Refill the water kettle with clear water up to the MAX marking and bring it to a boil again.
· Rinse the water kettle thoroughly with clear water.
· Make sure that the appliance is completely dry before using it again or storing it.
