Care and Cleaning - Kettle
WARNING! Always switch OFF, unplug and let the appliance cool down before removing
the mesh filter, moving the power base or cleaning the appliance.
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. Do
not place or immerse the kettle base, power base or power cord in any liquids. Do not
spill any liquids on the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord.
Do not place the kettle or power base in an automatic dishwasher.
Removable Mesh Filter
The appliance 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.
CAUTION: Handle the filter mesh with care. Do not scratch, scrub or scrape on the filter
mesh with hard or sharp utensils to avoid damage.
1. Switch OFF and unplug the appliance and allow to cool down.
Press the opening button to open the lid. Grasp the dark bar of the
mesh filter and lift it up and out of the kettle (picture G).
2. Clean the mesh filter. Rinse the filter under running water.
Possibly use a plastic cleaning brush or sponge. If the mesh is blocked with lime: leave
the filter overnight in warm vinegar. Carefully rinse with clear tap water.
3. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter in the correct orientation down into the slots
behind the spout of the kettle (see: ´Features of Your Design Combo Set`). Push the filter
down, until the dark bar is in line with the brim of the kettle and the lid of the kettle can
be shut tightly.
Cleaning the Kettle
In normal case 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.
However, depending on the water hardness in your residential area you should decalcify the
kettle regularly to avoid any loss of performance and excessive power consumption. See
´Decalcifying the Kettle`.
WARNING! Immediately wipe off condensate or spilled water. Do not spill any liquids
on the appliance. Do not immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power
