Filter instructions A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling. How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often you use your kettle. Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases. Filter removal/cleaning/refitting Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power outlet and allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid. 1. Empty the kettle and lift lid. 2. Grip the top part of the filter with index finger and thumb and pull upwards. You may have to hold kettle while removing filter. Caution: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter. 3. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently wit a soft brush. 4. To refit filter, once again hold filter with index finger and thumb. Gently push filter back into the kettle until you hear a click. The filter is now reattached. Gently tug on filter to ensure filter is attached properly. 5.
