IMPOrtaNt: Before cleaning, always 

disconnect the Water Kettle from electrical 

outlet and make sure that the Water Kettle 

has cooled completely.

Calcium deposits may form on the interior 

metal parts of the Water Kettle. To get the 

best performance from your Water Kettle, 

clean periodically. The cleaning interval  

will depend on the hardness of the water 

you put into the Water Kettle. The use of  

a commercial descaler is recommended.

Wash Water Kettle and base by hand with 

a damp cloth. Dry and polish with a soft 

cloth. Abrasives and scouring agents of any 

kind are not recommended.

If a commercial descaler is not available:
1. Fill the Water Kettle with white vinegar 

to the MIN (0.25 L) mark.

2. Add water to the 0.75 L mark. 
3. Boil and allow to stand overnight. 
4. Empty the solution from the  

Water Kettle. 

5. Fill the Water Kettle with water, bring  

to a boil and drain out the water. Repeat 

this step twice. The Water Kettle is now 

ready to use.

NOte: If calcium deposits remain on the 

filter, let it stand overnight in a solution  

of water and white vinegar. Rinse the  

filter thoroughly and replace in the  

Water Kettle.

Remove filter from Water Kettle (see

“Inserting and removing the filter”);
