Limescale filter
model)
Depending on the hardness of the local water,
a layer of limescale may form inside your
kettle. If this happens, when the water boils,
particles of limescale may be found in the
water you pour. To prevent this from
occurring, we have equipped the kettle with a
special limescale filter which retains the
limescale particles when you pour water.
Avoid pouring water too quickly, so as to
•
allow it to flow slowly through the limescale
filter.
To remove the limescale filter, lift the kettle
•
away from its base and allow the appliance
to cool down. Never remove the filter when
the appliance is full of hot water.
Remove the lid.

• Push the flap downwards and take out the
filter (6a).
• When replacing the limescale filter, make
sure it is correctly inserted by placing the
front of the filter first into the pouring spout
and then pulling the flap upwards (6b).

Maintenance
. Descaling
To allow water to reach boiling point, it is
essential that you regularly descale your
kettle. To do so, we advise you to use white
wine vinegar:
Pour 1/2 litre water into the kettle.
•
Add 1/2 glass of 8° white wine vinegar.
•
Bring to the boil and leave to stand for
•
15 minutes.
• Then rinse your kettle several times in cold
water.
• Boil fresh water and dispose before using
the kettle again.
. Model with limescale filter
This same mixture (water + vinegar) can also
be used to descale the limescale filter.
Pour a little of the hot mixture into a
•
container.
• Soak the filter in the mixture for several
minutes, until the limescale particles trapped
in the pores of the filter have dissolved.
Then rinse the filter thoroughly in fresh
•
water, before replacing.
Note:
Our guarantee excludes kettles which do not
work or work poorly because they have not
been descaled regularly.
