descaling
●Regular descaling of the flat
element will improve the
performance of your kettle. If the
kettle is not descaled regularly the
build up of limescale may result in
the following:
●problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
●the kettle may take longer to
boil.
●the flat element may be
damaged.
Please note: not descaling your kettle
may invalidate your guarantee.
●When limescale starts to build up
on the heating element, buy a
suitable descaler and descale your
kettle. After descaling, boil with
fresh water several times and
discard. Clean any descaler off the
kettle - it can damage the parts.
●Some regions of the country have
chalky water. This makes boiled
water look cloudy and leaves a
deposit on the side of the kettle.
This is normal but can be removed
with regular cleaning.
●Alternatively, to reduce limescale
build up, use filtered water to fill
your kettle.
●A range of Kenwood jug water
filters are available.

burn for an adult could horrifically injure - or even kill - a child.

●Keep your kettle, and its cord, well back from the worktop edge so that
children can’t grab them.
●Keep children away from the kitchen work area.
●For baby’s bath, run the cold water first, then add the hot. Mix well and test
the temperature with your elbow before you put baby in.
●Teach children about hot things.
