REMOVAL OF STAINLESS STEEL ANTI-LIMESCALE FILTER

DECALCIFYING / INSIDE CLEANING
We recommend to clean the electric kettle after each use In order to avoid tea deposits. The
inner of the electric kettle can be cleaned using warm water and a dish-washing brush.
Depending on the degree of hardness of the water in your region, lime deposits will develop at
the bottom and on the inside wall of the Glass container from time to time. The harder the water,
the faster limit deposits will develop.
Descale the unit in regular intervals, because too much scale can affect the performance
of the unit. A defect which can be traced back to lacking descaling is not covered by
warranty!
If you regularly decalcify the unit, this will increase the service life of your unit. For decalcifying,
we recommend to use Graef descaling tablets which are matched to our units. The descaling
tablets are available in our online shop www.graef.de under article No. 145618. Moreover,
water also causes soiling on the inside of the container, which can also be removed by regular
descaling.
Process:
Fill the unit with water up to the maximum fill-level marking.
●
Insert the descaling tablet, allow the tablet approx. 5 minutes to dissolve.
●
Re-boil the decalcifying mixture.
●
Empty the unit, and rinse it several times with clear water.
●
We do not assume any liability for lack of or insufficient descaling. In this case, the war-
ranty will become null and void.
