The amount of limescale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or descale) largely depends on
the water hardness in your area and the frequency with which the kettle is used.
Limescale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into your beverage it can give a powdery taste to
your drink. Therefore, the kettle should be descaled periodically as indicated below:
DESCALING
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use, at least twice a year.
Fill the kettle up to the "MAX" with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two parts water. Switch
on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically after boiling.
Let the mixture remain inside the kettle overnight.
Throw the mixture away the next morning.
Fill the kettle with clean water to "MAX" and boil again.
Throw away this boiled water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar.
Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
Disposal of old electrical appliances.
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY: This device complies with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
2006/95/EC and the requirements of the EMC directive 2004/108/EC.
