Kettle KBP3010
To clean the scale filter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good
working order
• Use a proprietary descaling product e.g. citric acid crystals.
We recommend using citric acid crystals as follows:
• Pour into kettle about 50 gr. or 2 oz. of citric acid crystal and
then fill with water up to the max level indicated and then boil.
Allow the contents to cool, and then rinse thoroughly.
• Do not use a more concentrated solution. If the filter requires
descaling, remove the filter and place into the citric acid solu-
tion.
• Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry
before using the kettle.
• Citric acid crystals are available from most pharmacies.
Safety Warnings
Please read these instructions before operating and retain for
future reference.
• Ensure that your mains supply voltage is the same as that
marked on the underside of your kettle.
• To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the mains
lead, plug power base or kettle in water or any other liquid. Do
not use in the bathroom or near any source of water. Do not
use outdoors.
• Do not touch hot surfaces i.e. body or lid. Use handles or
knobs.
• Do not remove the lid while the kettle is boiling.
• Take care when pouring - do not over-tilt the kettle as water
may enter into the switch mechanism.
• Water can remain hot for a long time after boiling, and can
present a scald hazard. Keep the kettle and the mains lead away
from the edge of the work surface and out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Do not allow the mains lead to hang over the edge of the table
or work surface, or anywhere it may be accidentally caught or
tripped over.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children.
• Remove the plug from the mains socket when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
• Remove the kettle from its power base before filling.
• Never move the kettle whilst it is in use.
• Do not use the kettle if you have wet hands.
• Keep the kettle, the power base, and the mains lead away from
hotplates, hobs or burners.
