3 Clean using a soft brush or rinse under a running tap. Alternatively, when descaling your
kettle, the filter can be dropped into the solution. Rinse thoroughly after any descaling.
4 Clip the filter back into place until secure.
Descaling
-
Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the ket-
tle 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 become damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your warranty.
-
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.
