CLEANING AND CARE
1. Prior to kettle cleaning or storing unplug it
from the mains and allows it to fully cool down.
2. In order to avoid electric hazards, do not
immerse the kettle’s housing (1), its base (8)
and electric cord into water. These components
of the device can be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth without any cleansers.
3. In order to clean the filter (4) remove it and
wash its exterior with running water. The filter needs to be
washed irrespective of scale formation on it.
USEFUL ADVICE
In hard water areas it is important to do the
de-scaling regularly to keep the kettle in good work-
ing condition, because too much scale inside may
cause the kettle not to work. For the best perfor-
mance of your kettle, decalcify the unit from time
to time. The frequency depends on the hardness
of your tap water and how many times you have
used the kettle (e.g. once for 200 uses). If the
water in your house is hard we advise you to use filtered water as
it will slightly decrease scale formation.
2 methods of decalcification:
1. Using 9% white vinegar:
- Fill the kettle with 0.5 liter of hot water and add two table-
spoonful of 9% white vinegar.
- Let the kettle soak for 1 hour without boiling.
- Stir the liquid in the kettle from time to time.
2. Citric acid:
- Mix 25g of citric acid with 0.5 liter of boiling water.
- Pour the mixture in the kettle.
- Leave to soak for 15 minutes.
- Empty your kettle and rinse it two or three times with tap cold
water.
- Repeat the process if needed.
Any other servicing should be performed only by an autho-
rized service center.
The appliance should not be stored while hot or plugged in.
When not in use, allow the kettle to cool, then put it back into the
box and store out of reach of children in a safe, dry place.

dance with waste disposal regulations in your coun-
