removable spout filter
The Design Kettle Pro features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner
water. To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and
out of the kettle. The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a
cleaning cloth or brush. To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the
spout of the kettle and push back into position.
note! The filter could become damaged with time. Please check regularly and replace if
found damaged.
note! The concealed element in the base of the kettle is made from high quality stainless
steel. Any brown stains appearing are the result of mineral deposits and are not rust.
To clean the exterior
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry
cloth.
note! Do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to
clean the inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning agent with a soft damp cloth.
Decalcifying the kettle
CauTIOn!
Never use abrasive cleaners, any chemicals, disin-
fectants, cleaning pads or any sharp utensils (i.e. metal scouring
pads) for cleaning. Handle the kettle and power base without vio-
lation. Never place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic
dishwasher. Depending on the water hardness in your residential
area, mineral deposits build up in the water container, causing
decolouration and increasing energy loss. Therefore we recommend to decalcify the water
container regularly.
1. Combine ca. 400 to 500 ml vinegar and 800 to 1000 ml water, fill this solution in the
kettle and boil. Make sure, the room is well ventilated.
2. Switch off and unplug. Allow to stand overnight.
3. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water to water level mark
1700/MAX, bring to boil and discard the water.
4. Thoroughly rinse the interior of the water container with clear water. After that the kettle
will be ready for use.
