CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

•  Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the 

appliance to cool.

•  Clean the jug with a damp cloth. Never immerse 

the appliance in water. Never put the appliance in a 

dishwasher. Make sure that the electrical connections do not 

become damp.

•  If the interior of the jug has become severely discoloured, 

then the best way to clean it is with a damp cloth and 

a little washing soda. After cleaning, rinse the jug very 

thoroughly. 

ATTENTION!

•  Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp 

objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the 

appliance.

•  Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance is not 

connected to the power supply and that it has cooled down.

Descaling

This appliance is equipped with an integral heating element, and 

consequently limescale will not be formed. Consequently you do 

not need to descaled the appliance.

However, if you nevertheless do wish to descale the appliance:

1.  Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the appliance to cool.

2.  The jug kettle is fitted with a descaling filter. This filter must be 

removed for cleaning. 

3.  Fill the jug with a vinegar solution to the MAX level, and bring to 

the boil.

4.  Leave the jug with the vinegar solution to stand for a couple of hours.

5.  Empty the jug, fill with clean water to the MAX level, and bring 

to the boil. Empty the jug. Repeat this process twice.

6.  Never use ammonia or other products to descale the appliance. 

These can be injurious to your health. Use solely a vinegar 

solution, or special descaling agents available from retailers.
