CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the
electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER
The removable ÿlter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and
prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This ÿlter neither treats nor
removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water.
With very hard water, the ÿlter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is
important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then
brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself, it will then need
de-scaling.
To remove the anti-scale ÿlter, lift the kettle o˜ its base and allo w to cool. Never
remove the filter when the appliance is full of hot water.
DE-SCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your
water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle using white vinegar:
Fill the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar
Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating
To de-scale your kettle using citric acid:
Boil 1/2 L of water
Add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min
Using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To de-scale your filter:
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

cold water to speed up the start of heating.
THE KETTLE MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT, DEPENDING ON MODEL
THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the ON/OFF button is in the o˜
position after boiling and that the kettle has switched o˜ bef ore removing it
