When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify,
making the water 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.
