CLEANING AND CARE
1. Before cleaning or storing, unplug the kettle
from the power supply and wait until it com-
pletely cools down.
2. To avoid electric shocks, do not submerge
the kettle casing (5), its base (7) and power
cord (8) in water. These parts can be cleaned
by using a damp lint-free cloth. Non-abrasive
washing detergents can be used.
3. To clean filter (3), remove the filter and wash it out from out-
side with clean running water. The filter must be washed out
regardless of whether it has scale deposit on it or not.
4. Store the device only after its parts are completely dried.
USEFUL ADVICE
In hard water areas it is important to do the
de-scaling regularly to keep the kettle in good
working condition, because too much scale inside
may cause the kettle not to work. For the best
performance of your kettle, decalcify the unit from
time to time. The frequency depends on the hard-
ness 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:
Using 9% white vinegar:
X Fill the kettle with 0.5 liter of hot water and add two table-
spoonful of 9% white vinegar.
X Let the kettle soak for 1 hour without boiling.
X Stir the liquid in the kettle from time to time.
X Pour out the liquid and wash it out 2-3 times with cold clean
water.
Using citric acid:
X Mix 25g of citric acid with 0.5 liter of boiling water.
X Pour the mixture in the kettle.
X Leave to soak for 15 minutes.
X Empty your kettle and rinse it two or three times with tap cold
water.
X 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.
