1
To access filter: Open the lid; the  
filter is located behind spout inside 
Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of  
the filter to remove.
1
Fill the Electric Kettle with white vinegar 
to the 1 cup (.25 L) mark. Add water  
to the 3 cups (.75 L) mark. Boil (100º C/ 
212º F) and allow to stand overnight.
2
Clean under hot water with a soft  
brush or cloth to remove deposits,  
and replace filter by sliding the filter  
into the slot behind the spout.
The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh filter that traps scale deposits for cleaner 
water. The filter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
To get the best performance from your 
Electric Kettle, decalcification will be 
necessary. Calcium deposits may form on 
the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle. 
The cleaning interval will depend on the 
hardness of the water you put in the  
Electric Kettle.
2
Empty the solution from the  
Electric Kettle.
3
Fill the Electric Kettle with water, bring 
to a boil and drain out the water. Repeat  
this step twice. The Electric Kettle is 
now ready to use.
