temperature of the water while

temperature selection knob (8).
note: different teas require
different brewing temperatures.
Brewing a delicate variety at too
high a temperature can make it
taste bitter. The BODUM® water
kettle with adjustable temperature
settings is ideally suited to
preparing any type of tea. There
are five temperature settings to
choose from. (60°C; 70°C; 80°C;
90°C and boil)

Maintenance anD care
Scale filter (2)
Scale, or calcium, is a natural
substance that forms when hard
water is boiled. The filter (2) serves
to retain the calcium in the water
kettle.
cleaning and removal of the filter
It is important to clean the filter
(2) regularly. The filter (2) clips into
the body and can be removed by
pulling it upwards from the body. It
can be cleaned by gentle brushing
with a soft brush under running
water.
Kettle clean and decale
Remove scale using either a
proprietary de-scaling product
suitable for plastic kettles
(following the instructions
carefully), or citric acid.
We recommend using citric acid
as follows:
Boil 1 l/34 oz litre of water, then
unplug the kettle and stand it in an
empty sink or bowl. Add 50 gm 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 electrical
applicant.
Storage
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.
