Cleaning
• Always unplug the appliance and allow cooling down
before cleaning.
• Never clean the appliance under running water, nor
immerse it in water. Clean the exterior surfaces of the
kettle with a damp cloth only. Small amounts of dish-
washing liquids may be used. Do not use steel wool
or abrasive cleaners. Never use any solvents such as
alcohol, gasoline or benzene.
• The removable scale filter can be cleaned with a soft
brush; do not use a metal brush. The scale filter is
dishwasher-proof.
Descaling
• To extend the kettle's lifetime and save energy, we
recommend the following descaling frequency:
– Every 3 months in case of normal use
(up to 5 times a day) with low to medium water
hardness.
– Every month in case of more frequent usage or
with hard water.
The water hardness you can check with your local
water supplier.
• Boil 0.8 l water in the kettle.
• Important: Switch off the kettle and add 0.4 l house-
hold vinegar (4-5% acid ). Do not boil the contents as
it may cause spilling being a danger of scalding.
• Let the mix of water and vinegar sit in the kettle over-
night.
• Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly with
fresh water. Fill the kettle with fresh water and boil it.
• Empty the kettle and rinse it again with fresh water.
• If the kettle still contains scale, repeat this procedure.
• To remove any scale from the scale filter, you may
soak it in diluted vinegar.
