descale regularly – even in soft water areas
7 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.
8 Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
9 All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle’s life, and may trigger the boil-dry
cut-out.
10 So, even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order.
11 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
12 Follow the instructions on the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil and discard
the water, to ensure no residues are left.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a
repair charge.
water filter
13 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance.
The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on
the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks
may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.
cleaning the filter
14 Check your hands are free from soap, or anything which might leave a taint.
15 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
16 Remove the lid.
release the filter
17 Grip the tab on the top of the filter, and pull it upwards, out of the guides.
18 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
19 Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.
replace the filter
20 Slide it down, into the guides.
21 Replace the lid.
warning don’t use the kettle without the filter in place – it may spit boiling water
