Cleaning The Filter; In The Event Of Problems - T-Fal Express Control Mode D'emploi

CLEANING THE FILTER

• The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them from
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
• Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To descale your kettle.
