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.
1. Wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp 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.
NOTE: If you need to clean the inside of the kettle, put the kettle on a stable surface and
pour in some hot mild liquid detergent. 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.
3. 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
limescale deposit may form. This reduces the kettle’s working life and heating capacity
and, therefore, increases power consumption. Limescale 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.
Decalcifying the Kettle
CAUTION: Never use abrasive cleaners, any chemicals, disinfectants, cleaning pads or
any sharp utensils (i.e. metal scouring pads) for cleaning. Handle the kettle and power
base without violence. Never place the appliance or any part of it in an
automatic dishwasher.

3. Switch OFF the kettle and unplug the power base. Allow to stand overnight.
4. Discard the solution. Fill the kettle with clean, cold water up to maximum level 1000/ Max
and boil.
5. Discard the boiled water and any remaining scale and vinegar.
6. Thoroughly rinse the interior of the kettle with clean water.
