CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the
switch must not come into contact with water.
Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER (fig. 5)
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup
when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities
of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it
regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach
itself; it will then need descaling.
DESCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
• using white vinegar (which can be obtained from hardware stores)
- fill the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar,
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating
• using citric acid:
- boil 1/2 l of water,
- add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To descale your filter:
• Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
