We recommend using citric acid as follows:
EN
1.5 litres/51fl.oz Kettle: Boil 1.0 litres/34fl.oz of water, then
unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add
50gm of citric acid crystals gradually, then leave the kettle to
stand.
1.0 litres/34fl.oz Kettle: Boil 1.0 litres/34fl.oz of water, then
unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add
50gm of citric acid crystals gradually, then leave the kettle to
stand.
0.5 litres/17fl.oz Kettle: Boil 0.5 litres/17fl.oz of water, then
unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add
25gm 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 electri-
cal applicant.
STORAGE Excessive cord length can be stored on the cord retainer (5)
in the base unit (4).
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.
