Descaling IMPORTANT: This kettle must be descaled regularly. Frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area. Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off before boiling and may damage the element invalidating the warranty. Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for plastic kettles. We recommend Oust All purpose Descaler (please follow the instructions carefully) which may be purchased from our Helpline or from your local retailer. 2 Fill the kettle up to the maximum mark. · If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled water and refill. If the kettle has just switched off wait a minute or so before switching it back on again. · If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the kettle when it is empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool, then use as normal. Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available from most pharmacies) as follows. 1 Fill the kettle, boil, then unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. 2 Add 15gm of citric acid crystals to the water gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. 3 As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. 4 Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid which may damage the finish. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle. 4 43042 Rev 2 20/12/04 10:52 AM Page 5 Cleaning WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
