kettle clean and decale
Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product
suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions care-
fully), or citric acid.
We recommend using citric acid as follows:
Boil 0.5l/17oz litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand
it in an empty sink or bowl. Add 25 gm of citric acid crystals
gradually, then leave the kettle to stand.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and
rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the
kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
citric acid which may damage the finish.
Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the
electrical connections are completely dry before using the
kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists.
– Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.
– Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to clean
the exterior of the kettle.
– Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth.
– Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an elec-
trical applicant.
Note: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off
when you are not using the kettle.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
