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 lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent
them falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor removes the
hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard
water, the lter 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 descaling.
·To remove the anti-scale lter, lift the kettle o its base and allow to cool. Never
remove the lter 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 liter of vinegar.
.Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
-Boil 1/2 liter of water.
-Add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
Using a de-scaler specically for plastic kettles:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
·Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To de-scale your lter:
.Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
·Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
Please use and keep the kettle and its supply
cord out of the reach of children.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Please use and keep the kettle and its supply cord out of the reach of children.

the pictures and test. The appliance should be used strictly in accordance with these
instructions.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking o parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance which has been damaged in any way or has a
defective cord or plug. Return it to the nearest authorized service center for examina-
tion, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufactur-
er may result in re, electric shock or injury.

power cord. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present
a scald hazard.
