13.2 Decalcification

The manufacturer recommends regular decalcification of the kettle since energy consumption increases if a kettle has severe calcareous deposits. The intervals at which you should decalcify your kettle should depend on the degree of hardness of the water used and the frequency of its use. - Decalcify the kettle every 3 months in the event of normal use and if the water is soft. If the water is hard, decalcify it 1x per month. You can obtain information about the water hardness within your living area from the competent water company. - Decalcify the water at the latest if the boiling process lasts for a very long time or if rather heavy calcareous deposits have formed on the heating plate in the water container.

• Pour the decalcifying liquid into the water container. For this you can mix household vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:1 or use a standard decalcifying agent. Adhere to the manufacturer’s specifications for use of a decalcifying agent.

• Boil the decalcifying liquid in the electric kettle.

• Let the liquid work for about half an hour after boiling.

• Boil the liquid a second time is there are severe calcareous deposits.

• Then pour the liquid out.

• Boil fresh tap water and dump it after boiling.

• Now the kettle is decalcified and you can use it again as usual.

As soon as the mains plug is inserted into a socket and the water container is placed on the base, the appliance uses minimal power, even if you are not boiling water. Pull the mains plug out of the socket, to disconnect the kettle fully from the power supply when you are not using it.Seite | 21
