• Avoid pouring water too quickly, so as to
allow it to flow slowly through the limescale
filter.
• To remove the limescale filter, lift the kettle
away from its base and allow the appliance
to cool down. Never remove the filter when
the appliance is full of hot water.
• Press the control (d) to open the lid.
• Swivel the filter and pull it upward to
remove it from the pouring spout (6).
• To replace the limescale filter, slide it into the
pouring spout and lock it by pushing
downwards.
Notes:
• The filter is only suitable for this type of
kettle.
• The absence of a filter will not stop the
kettle from working.
Cleaning
• Unplug the kettle, remove it from its base
and allow it to cool down.
• To clean the external surfaces, use a damp
cloth with a little washing-up liquid. Rinse
and dry carefully.
• Never immerse the kettle or the base in
water.

• Clean the limescale filter at regular intervals.
• Rinse it in fresh running water, using a soft
non-metallic brush.
Maintenance
. Descaling
To allow water to reach boiling point, it is
essential that you descale your kettle at
regular intervals. To do this, we advise you to
use wine vinegar:
• Pour 1/2 litre water into the kettle.
• Add 1/2 glass of 8° wine vinegar.
• Bring to the boil and leave to work for
15 minutes.
• Then rinse your kettle several times in cold
water.

• Boil fresh water before using the kettle
again.
. Model with limescale filter
This same mixture (water + vinegar) can also
be used to descale the limescale filter.
• Pour a little of the hot mixture into a
container.
• Soak the filter in the mixture for several
minutes, until the particles of tartar trapped
in the pores of the filter have dissolved.
• Then rinse the filter thoroughly in fresh
water.
Note:
Our guarantee does not cover kettles which
do not work or work poorly because they
have not been descaled.
What to do if your appliance
does not work?
• Check:
. the electrical connection.
. that the kettle is correctly positioned on its
base.
. that the switch is in position «I».
. that the kettle has not been switched on
without any water. If this is the case, pour
cold water in the kettle, wait for one minute
before switching it on again.
• If your kettle works only intermittently
before boiling, your appliance probably
needs descaling. Refer to the section headed
«Maintenance».
If your appliance still does not work:
contact an approved KRUPS service centre (see
list in the booklet «KRUPS Service»).
