USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS

It is necessary to remove the scale from the

kettle on a regular basis especially in areas with
high water hardness as this will keep it in working
order. Excessive scale build-up can result in the
malfunction of you’re appliance. The frequency
of scale cleaning depends on the level of water
hardness and on the frequency of the use of the

kettle (for example, one cleaning after 200 times use). If your
water has a high level of hardness, our advice is to use a water
filter, as that will decrease the scale build-up.

2 methods to remove scale:

1 . Using 9% white vinegar:

– Fill the kettle with 0.5 liter of hot water and add 2 table-

spoons of 9% white vinegar.

– Let the kettle soak for 1 hour without boiling.
– Stir the liquid in the kettle from time to time.
– Pour out the liquid and wash it out 2-3 times with cold clean

water.

2 . Using citric acid:

– Mix 25 g of citric acid with 0.5 liter of hot water in the kettle.
– Let it soak for 15 minutes.
– Stir the water from time to time.
– Pour out the liquid and wash it out 2-3 times with cold clean

water.

– Repeat the procedure again if required.
All other maintenance works should be performed at an au-

thorized service center.

Do not store the kettle whilst hot or plugged to the mains. If you

don’t intend using the kettle again store it when it has cooled
down. Always store it in a box in a safe, dry place out of reach of
children.
