Remove the limescale
filter (8).
• Immerse the limescale fil­
ter in regular table vinegar.
• Remove any dirt with a
soft nylon brush.
• Rinse the limescale filter
with clear water and place it
back in the kettle.
De­scaling the water jug
De­scale the water jug if
limescale build­up is visible.
Info:
The hardness of the water
in your local area will deter­
mine how often the water
jug needs to be de­scaled.
• Fill the water jug with
around 0.7 l of water and
then top up to the 1.0 mark
on the water level indica­
tor with clear, regular table
vinegar. Alternatively, fill the
water jug with around 0.9 l
of water and then top up to
the 1.0 mark on the water
level indicator with clear
vinegar essence.
• Close the lid.
CAUTION:
The vapour produced
when heating the vinegar
may irritate the mucous
membranes.
• Place the water jug on the
base and press the "100°C"
temperature button.
• Wait until the kettle
switches off automatically.
• Use the handle to lift the
water jug off the base and
then pour out the water/
vinegar mixture.
• Repeat this process
3 times with only fresh
water.
Info:
You may also use commer­
cial de­scaling solutions to
de­scale the water jug. In
this case, follow the manu­
facturer's instructions on the
packaging.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The current consumed to
heat a litre of water (initial
temperature 20°C) to boiling
point is around 0.107 kWh.
Energy consumption can be
optimised by only heating
the amount of water actually
required and only heating
to the actual temperature
required.
Limescale build­up may
affect the performance of
your appliance. To prevent
excessive limescale, the
remaining water must be
poured away after heating.
STORAGE
Keep the kettle out of the
reach of children.
Always store the cable
in the cord storage com­
partment provided on the
underside of the base.
