Leave the appliance to cool down for 5 minutes

before refilling with water.

kettle is not leaking.

Cleaning and descaling

with a damp cloth only. Do not use caustic

or abrasive cleaning agents.

Rinse out the kettle and scale filter with clear

water.

Regular descaling
- prolongs the service life of the appliance
- ensures that the kettle functions properly
- reduces the boiling time
- saves energy

Descale the kettle with vinegar

or a commercially available descaling agent.

Fill the kettle up to the max mark with water

and bring to the boil. Then add approx.

1 cup of household vinegar and leave

to react for several hours.

Or use descaling agent according to the

manufacturer's instructions, never bring to

the boil.

Remove the scale filter and place in a little

vinegar.

Then rinse the kettle and scale filter with

clear water.

Attention: Never remove residual scale with

hard implements, otherwise the seal will

be damaged.
