- Clean the filter located in the spout of the kettle regularly. The filter can be lifted up when the lid is open. Rinse the filter in warm running water and let it dry. Slide the filter back into the grooves in the spout.

Descaling

Because of the natural occurrence of calcium in water, limescale deposits may form in the kettle after some use. Limescale deposits might lengthen the time needed for water to boil.

For descaling, use a mixture of water and white vinegar (acetic acid) or a special descaling agent that can be purchased at most supermarkets.

1. Mix 1 dl of white vinegar (not regular vinegar) with 3 dl cold water or follow the directions included with the descaling agent.

2. Pour the mixture into the kettle and turn it on. Let the mixture boil twice. Thereafter, pour the mixture away.

3. In order to remove the last remnants of limescale and descaling agent, the kettle should be filled to the max mark with fresh cold water. Turn the kettle on and let it boil.

4. Pour out the water and repeat this process 3 times. The kettle is now ready to use again.

The kettle should be descaled after 2–3 months daily use or whenever it has visible limescale deposits.

Disposal

Follow local ordinances when disposing of this product. If you are unsure of how to dispose of this product, please contact your municipality.
