CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! After usage and several minutes thereafter, the lid and interior of the
kettle may be very hot. Always switch OFF the appliance, unplug from the mains power
supply and allow the kettle to cool down completely before cleaning the appliance.
Always wipe off spilled water or condensate immediately. Do not spill or pour any liquids
on the exterior of the kettle or power base. Do not immerse the kettle, power base, power
cord, or power plug in water or any other liquid to avoid risk of electric shock. Do not
place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
CAUTION:
Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects, corrosive chemicals, disin-
fectants, abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads for cleaning the appliance or any
part of it. Do not poke with any foreign objects in the kettle, power base or the connec-
tors of power base or kettle. Do not use violence.
The appliance does not need much care. Just rinse the interior of the kettle with clear tap
water after usage, and descale the kettle regularly.
If required, wipe the exterior of the appliance using a soft, damp cloth moistened with a
little dishwater. Then wipe with clear water and dry thoroughly. Do not use any corrosive
or abrasive cleaners for cleaning.
Note:
Depending on the water hardness of your tap water, the kettle needs descaling regu-
larly. See: 'Descaling'
Note:
Possibly, you will observe brownish spots within the kettle. However, this is not the
result of any corrosion of the kettle but caused by iron-bearing lime.

DESCALING

WARNING: Do not breath in the vapours of any descaling solution to avoid severe
injuries to your respiratory tracts. Always keep the lid closed during the descaling pro-
cess, especially when the descaling solution is hot. Ensure good ventilation during the
descaling procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects, corrosive chemicals, disin-
fectants, abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads for cleaning the appliance or any
part of it. Do not use any corrosive descaler with high acidity. Please use some plain
vinegar or common descaling solution suited for electrical boilers. Do not use violence.
According to the water hardness of your tap water, lime/scale will build-up within the
kettle during use, degrading the performance of the kettle and leading to discolouration.
Remove these deposition according to the following instructions.
