How to clean and descale my kettle?

For descaling, fill the kettle with 0.5 L of vinegar and top up with water. Let it sit for an hour, empty, then rinse with boiled water. For exterior cleaning, use a damp cloth and polish with a soft cloth.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

First check that the kettle is properly placed on its base and that the water is above the minimum level. Make sure the plug is properly connected and that the voltage matches (220-240V). If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

4/ CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

A. Cleaning the kettle

• To prolong the kettle's life, clean the mineral deposits in the kettle regularly.
• To avoid any danger, always unplug from the plug socket and allow it to cool down before cleaning.

• Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle, as these will scratch the surface and fade the outside colour.

• Fill the kettle with 0.50L white vinegar and the remainder with water and allow it to stand for over 1 hour.

• Empty the solution from the kettle. Wipe off the deposits remained with damp cloth.
• Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and then discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready to use.
• If necessary, repeat the operations above for several times.
• The surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

B. Decalcification

After a period of time, calcareous deposits accumulate on the inside of the kettle. This is normal, although an excessive amount of lime may affect the proper functioning of the kettle. If this should occur, use a commercially-available decalcifying solution. Never try to decalcify the kettle by chipping away or scratching.

C. Warranty and after-sale service

This product is covered by a 2-year warranty by your retailer. For more details, please refer to the warranty conditions supplied by your distributor.
