Cleaning The Outside And Base Unit:
1. Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit of the appliance in water.
3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A little
detergent can be added if needed.
4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents to clean the appliance; they may damage the outside surfaces of the appliance.
De-Scaling:
IMPORTANT: Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of lime-scale may result in the following:
• The kettle taking longer to boil.
• Damage to the heating element.
• The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water has
boiled.
To Minimise Scale Build-Up:
• Empty the kettle of water after each use.
• Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Using ltered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale build up.
How To De-Scale:
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are
observed.
• Do not ll the kettle to the upper mark to avoid spillage if the de-scaling agent causes
the water to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcication residues let it go through several
boiling cycles using clean water.
