Decalcification
in areas with a high lime content in the water supply, the
kettle should be decalcified at regular intervals.
• Fill the kettle with a solution of 16 oz. water, add 10
tablespoons of vinegar and bring it to a boil.
• When process is complete, rinse the kettle twice with
clean water.
• Commercially available liquid decalcifiers may also be
used. Follow the instructions provided with
decalcifier by its manufacturer.
Regular decalcification will keep the kettle operating at
peak performance and electrical efficiency. it will also
extend the life of the kettle. Over time slightly brownish
stains may appear inside of kettle on the stainless steel floor. This is not rust, it is a result of high iron content in the
water supply often referred to as boiler scale. These stains can be easily wiped away with a cloth or mild abrasive.
Rinse kettle thoroughly after decalcification or cleaning.
Scale Filter
To prevent loose particles of lime scale being poured into your beverage, the kettle is equipped with a lime scale filter
behind the spout (Fig. 2). Do not operate the kettle without this filter in place. if this filter is not present, the function of
the steam switch will be compromised.
