descaling
Regular descaling of the flat element
G
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:
problems may be experienced
G
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
the kettle may take longer to boil.
G
the flat element may be damaged.
G
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
When limescale starts to build up on
G
the heating element, buy a suitable
descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water
several times and discard. Clean any
descaler off the kettle - it can
damage the parts.
Some regions of the country have
G
chalky water. This makes boiled
water look cloudy and leaves a
deposit on the side of the kettle. This
is normal but can be removed with
regular cleaning.
