4.5 Descaling
Regularly removing any deposits of scale
inside the kettle will prolong your kettle's life,
ensuring maximum performance and

using commonly available descaling
products.
In this case, leave the product to act, then
rinse thoroughly. Then boil at least two full
kettles of water, disposing of the boiling
water safely, to remove any residue of the
product before use.

household vinegar.

up to the second mark.
3. B
oil the kettle, then leave it to ac
t

4. Empty the kettle.
5. Fill the
kettle with water and boil it. Empt
y
the
kettle, disposing of the water safely
.
Re
peat this operation at least twice.
Tips and suggestions for the user
• Scale build-up can cause the kettle to
switch of
f during
use before the water
ha
s boiled. Boiling times could also be
increased.
• If the kett
le is used daily, or if it
becomes
more diffi
cult to pour out the water,
descale the kettle and filter more
frequently.
•
In some regions the water is harder
, and
in the
se areas it could have a cloudy
appearance and leave residue on the
walls of the kettle. In this case, clean the
inside of the kettle
more frequently or
us
e purified/softened water.
