CARE AND CLEANING
CARE AND CLEANING
Always switch off at the power outlet, and
then unplug the appliance from the power
outlet before cleaning.
Removable fi lter
The KE 4012 features a removable mesh fi lter
to fi lter out scale deposits for cleaner water.
To remove the scale deposits remove the
fi lter by opening the lid and lifting up and
out of the kettle. The fi lter can be cleaned
by running under hot water and rubbing
with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace
fi lter, simply slide the fi lter down into the slot
behind the spout of the kettle.
The fi lter could become damaged with time.
Please check regularly and replace if found
damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of the
kettle is made from high quality stainless steel.
Any brown stains appearing are the result of
mineral deposits and are not rust.
NOTE
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
standing 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
