Always switch off at the power outlet, and then
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
Removable filter
The Ikon Cordfree kettle features a removable mesh
filter to filter out scale deposits for cleaner water. To
remove the scale deposits remove the filter by
opening the lid and lifting up and out of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water
and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush.
To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the
slot behind the spout of the kettle.
Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the
kettle interior and water gauge to discolour over
time. This may be removed by using a proprietary
kettle descaler which is available from most
leading supermarkets, department stores and
hardware stores.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle until 2 / 3 full with 1 part vinegar
and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to
stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the
kettle with clean water, bring to boil and
discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will
be ready for use.
To clean the exterior
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a
damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.
Note
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE BASE, SWITCH AREA, POWER BASE OR POWER SUPPLY CORD IN
WATER, OR ALLOW MOISTURE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE PARTS.
