the inside

- Even though your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.

the filter

2 Slide the filter out ⑨.
3 either rinse under the tap or use a soft brush.

or when descaling your kettle, drop the filter in too. Rinse thoroughly.

4 Slide the filter back in to refit.

descaling

- Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following:

• problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling.
• the kettle may take longer to boil.
  • the flat element may be damaged.

Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

• When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts.
• Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regular cleaning.
• Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle.
