care and maintenance
26 Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to 0.
27 Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down fully before cleaning.

but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.
29 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.

descale regularly

33 It may cause overheating, and reduce the working life of the element. It may also make the
safety cutout operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water boils.
45 As the element is mounted beneath the kettle, scale can build up only on the walls and floor
of the kettle, where it can be seen and dealt with.
46 If you see scale forming, wipe it off.
36 Descale regularly, (at least monthly) to keep your kettle in good working order.
37 Use a descaler suitable for use in plastic products (most products have plastic parts). Follow
the instructions on the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil and discard the water, to
ensure no residues are left.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
water filter
38 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter
will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on the filter, clean it,
otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks may contain scale, and the
water inside the kettle may look cloudy.
cleaning the filter

40 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
41 Use the lid knob to remove the lid.
42 Use the tab on the filter to pull the filter out of the guides, then lift it out of the kettle.
