Cleaning and maintenance
Caution! Danger of electrical shock! Always pull the plug before cleaning.
Never immerse the water kettle, cord and base fully into water.
The connector parts must not get wet. Contact of electrical parts with
moisture can cause short circuit and damage.
Caution danger of burning! Let the appliance cool down enough before
cleaning and storing it.
Wipe the unit only with a damp cloth. Never use metallic or sharp edged
cleaning material or sharp cleaning solvents while cleaning to avoid scratches
and damage.
Furring up is a common problem in hard water areas, and it is recommended
that a de-scaling fluid is used to remove the deposits (see next chapter).

removing as part of cleaning and maintenance is not covered.
Never store the unit near a heating element - plastic parts of the housing
could melt. Store the unit in a dry place, not reachable for children.
Decalcification
The decalcification interval depends on the hardness of the water and the
frequency of use. Decalcification should be carried out every month. Please use
common decalcification agent (commercially available) and read and follow its
instructions of use closely.
