The Smart Kettle features a removable mesh
filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner
water. To clean the scale deposits from the
filter, remove the filter by opening the lid
and sliding the filter up and out of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by placing it
under running hot water and rubbing with a
cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter,
simply slide the filter down into the slot
behind the spout of the kettle and push back
in to position.
notE
The filter could become damaged with
time, so please check regularly and
replace if found damaged.
dESCalIng
It is essential that regular descaling takes
place. Frequency will depend on the usage
of the kettle and the hardness of the water
in your area. A build-up of scale may cause
the inside of the kettle to discolour and
ultimately may damage the element. This
will affect the efficiency of the appliance and
may invalidate the warranty agreement.
