appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin lm on the walls,
element and on the surface of the water. The water may look like
it has white coloured pieces of plastic oating on the surface.
On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white “crust”
which adversely aects performance and reduces the life of the
element.
As soon as you notice a lm forming on the water, or, when
cleaning the lter, if you notice a lm on the walls or the
element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles
of scale being poured into your beverage. This lter is both
removable and washable. The frequency with which you will
need to clean any scale deposits from your lter will depend
on the hardness of water in your area and how often you use
the kettle. You should remove and clean the water lter when
you notice any deposits being left on the lter or if the pouring
eciency is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
- Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap,
cream or anything which might taint the water.
- Empty the kettle and remove the lter as shown in g. 1.
- Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (g. 2).
- Replace the lter (g. 3).
To clean the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good
working order.
- Use descaler for kettles. When limescale starts forming on
the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale
according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
After descaling, boil the kettle repeatedly with fresh water
and rinse thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues
of descaler which could damage the appliance. If the
lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in the same
descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using
the kettle.
