Care and cleaning
WArnInG! Always switch OFF, unplug and let the appliance cool down before remov-
ing the mesh filter, moving the power base or cleaning the appliance.
Immediately wipe off condensate or spilled water. Do not spill any liquids on the
exterior of the appliance, the power base or the power cable. Do not
immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord in water
to avoid risk of electric shock. Always keep the table or counter clean and dry and
immediately wipe off spilled liquids or condensate.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
CAutIOn! To avoid damage, do not use any chemicals, disinfectants, steel wool, abrasive
cleaners or hard or sharp utensils to clean the appliance. Handle with care.
1. Wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots
using a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. In the same
way, the power base may be cleaned. Make sure not to spill or drip any liquids on the
power base.
2. Dry with a soft dry cloth. Polish the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth, when required.
If you used the kettle solely for heating up drinking water, there is no need to clean the
interior of the kettle. Before first use or after a longer period of storage rinse the interior of
the kettle with clear drinking water.
3. Otherwise, put the kettle on a stable surface and pour in some hot mild liquid detergent.
4. Carefully clean the inner side walls, and the heating plate at the bottom, using a soft
nylon brush without violence. Soak stubborn stains for some minutes before brushing it off.
5. Thoroughly rinse the interior of the kettle with pure drinking water. Depending on the
hardness of your water supply and how often you use the kettle, a lime scale deposit may
form. This reduces the kettle’s working life and heating capacity and, therefore, increases
power consumption. Lime scale is not harmful to your health but may give your beverages
an unpleasant appearance or taste. For normal household use we recommend to descale
at least once every 2–3 months. It is advised to descale your kettle as much as possible, as
it prolongs the life and performance of your kettle.
removable scale filter
The kettle features a removable mesh filter to filter out scale deposits for clearer water.
Additionally the filter will prevent boiling water from splashing, when you pour the water.
Clean the filter regularly to avoid blockage of the mesh.
WArnInG: Do not attempt to remove the filter while the kettle is plugged in or hot.
Handle the mesh filter with care. Do not scratch, scrub or scrape on the mesh filter with
hard or sharp utensils to avoid damage.
