Cleaning and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
1. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water, or allow moisture to
come in contact with these parts.
2. Wipe the appearance of the body with a damp cloth or cleaner, never use a
poisonous cleaner.
3. Remember to clean the removable limescale filter at regular intervals. Remove the
filter by opening the lid and lifting it up and out of the kettle. The filter can be cleaned
under warm running water and by gently rubbing with a cleaning sponge or brush.
Once clean, simply slide the filter down into the filter housing located behind the
spout.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean the
outside of the kettle to prevent the gloss loss.
4. When not in use or during storage, the power cord may be wound back into the
inside of the power base.
Removal of Mineral Deposits
Your kettle should be periodically descaled as the mineral deposits in tap water can form
scale on the bottom of the kettle causing the appliance to operate less efficiently. You may
use propriety kettle descaler available from a wide variety of retail outlets. Alternatively you
may also follow the below instructions:
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar diluted with 3 cups of tap water. Leave the
solution in the kettle overnight. Rinse well before boiling again.
2. Discard the mixture in the kettle, then fill the kettle with clean water, boiling and
then discard the water. Repeat several times until the odour of the vinegar has been
flushed away. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with
a damp cloth.
