CARE AND CLEANING
the + and - buttons
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Always unplug the kettle from the power source before cleaning. Wipe outside of the cooled
kettle and lid with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Do not immerse the kettle body,
power base, control panel, power cord, or electrical plug in any liquid. Do not use abrasive cleans-
ers or scouring pads.
CLEANING YOUR FILTER
The removable spout lter is made of a ne mesh that prevents mineral (scale) particles from
being poured out with the water. It should be cleaned every 10-25 uses to remove scale build-up.
To remove the lter, unplug the cooled kettle from its power source and open the lid. With the
spout facing you, hold the lid with one hand and the lter with the other. Pull the lter gently but
rmly sideways and downwards until it pops out.
Rinse the lter under running water or brush it gently with a cleaning brush until clean. If any
residue remains, you can soak the lter in a small amount of white vinegar or diluted citric acid
solution and then rinse thoroughly. Replace the lter by inserting one side rst and pushing up
gently and rmly to pop the other into place.
DESCALING YOUR KETTLE
With regular use, mineral deposits from your water naturally build up inside your kettle, especially
on the surface of the stainless steel heater. Regular descaling (1-2 times per month, depending on
the hardness of your water) using one of the following methods will remove this residue and keep
your kettle looking and working its best.
Descale with White Vinegar
1. Unplug the kettle and ll with 0.5L (2 cups) of white vinegar.
2. Let sit for 1 hour. Do not heat.
3. Empty and rinse thoroughly with clean water 5-6 times.
Descale with Citric Acid
1. Fill the kettle with 0.5 L (2 cups) of water and boil.
2. Add 25 g (5 tsp) citric acid powder to the water and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Empty and rinse thoroughly with clean water 5-6 times.
Descale with a Commercial Descaling Product
1. Choose a descaler designed for kettles and follow the product instructions.
