Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally occurring mineral found in most
water supplies. “Hard” water contains more of this mineral than “soft” water.
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water appear cloudy.
These minerals form a thin film on the walls, element and on the surface of the water. The water
may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic floating on the surface. On traditional kettle
elements, scale forms a hard white “crust” which adversely affects performance and reduces the
life of the element. As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when cleaning the
filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
Scale filter
Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter to prevent loose particles of scale being poured into your
beverage. This filter is both removable and washable. The frequency with which you will need
to clean any scale deposits from your filter will depend on the hardness of water in your area
and how often you use the kettle. You should remove and clean the water filter when you notice
any deposits being left on the filter or if the pouring efficiency is impaired.
Removing the scale filter
Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap, cream or anything which might
taint the water.
Empty the kettle and remove the filter as shown in fig. 1.
Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (fig. 2).
Replace the filter (fig. 3).
To clean the scale filter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good working order
Use descaler for kettles. When limescale starts forming on the heating element, buy a
suitable descaler and descale according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
After descaling, boil the kettle repeatedly with fresh water and rinse thoroughly to completely
eliminate all residues of descaler which could damage the appliance. If the filter requires
descaling, remove and immerse in the same descaling solution.
Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using the kettle.
