CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the
electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
• Do not wipe the display while plugged in, it may cause unexpected start-up.
DE-SCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your
water is very hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by
limescale.
To de-scale your kettle:
• Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
– Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,
– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• Using citric acid:
– Boil ½ litre of water,
– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
• The kettle does not work
– Check that your kettle is properly connected.
– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of
scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool
and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in
the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work
surface, out of the reach of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a
doctor if necessary.
• In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same
time as drinking or carrying a hot drink.
