Your kettle can filter and boil water very quickly. The appliance has a jug fitted with a removable lid with integral Brita Memo, a Brita water filter cartridge, and an external indication of the water level. The Kettle can boil 1 l filtered water or 1.7 l unfiltered water. The Brita water filter cartridge removes calcium carbonate and other substances, such as chlorine, that afect the smell and taste of your drinking water. In addition, the filter cartridge also reduces the concentration of aluminium, specific heavy metals (such as copper and lead) and certain pesticides that may be present in the water.

Consequently, the filter yields optimum freshly filtered water – ideally suited to the preparation of delicious hot and cold drinks, and to cooking delicious meals. The Brita filter also reduces the formation of limescale in your kettle. The kettle’s base is connected to a 220 - 240V mains power supply. The jug can rotate through 360° on the round base.
