Cleaning & Maintenance; Descaling - Cuisinart CPK17SE Manuel D'utilisation

5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
• Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean damp cloth to preserve its original high
quality finish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
• Clean the water filter with a soft, clean, damp cloth once a month or as necessary.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior of the
kettle.
WARNING! Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or other liquid. Ensure the electric
kettle socket is kept dry.

6. DESCALING

• To limit scale build-up, we recommend you use only filtered or low-calcium water.
• During use, lime deposits will form on the inside of your Cuisinart Multi-Temp Jug Kettle. To get
the best performance from the kettle, we recommend descaling it from time to time. Frequency
depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use your kettle.
• We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve the scale. Simply follow the manufacturer's
guidelines on the packaging.
• Alternatively pour in enough white vinegar to cover the bottom of the kettle by about 2cm.
Bring the vinegar to the boil; you may need to repeat this several times with cooled vinegar to
remove the build-up completely.
• When the kettle is descaled, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water. Take
care not to inhale fumes.
