4. Rinse the sieve under running water or clean it using a damp cloth.
5. Reinsert the sieve into its holder in front of the spout. Ensure that it locks in securely.
If the sieve is already very calcified, place it into a mixture of water and vinegar (6:1
ratio) for a few hours. Afterwards, rinse the sieve with plenty of clear water.
Descaling
You should descale the kettle on a regular basis, as a very calcified kettle requires more
electricity. How often the appliance needs descaling will depend on the hardness of the
water used and frequency of use.
z With normal use, you should descale the kettle every 3 months with soft water and 1x
per month with hard water.
z You should descale the appliance regularly to avoid thick calcification forming on the
heating element in the kettle.
You can obtain information about the water hardness in your area from the local
water authority.
For descaling, you can use commercially available descaler (pay attention to manufacturer
instructions) or mix household vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio.
1. Fill the kettle with descaling liquid and boil it.
2. Afterwards, leave the liquid to take effect, for approx. half an hour.
3. Where thick calcification is present: Boil the descaling liquid a second time.
Then, pour it away.
4. Refill the kettle with fresh water, boil the water and also pour it away.
Afterwards, you can use the kettle as usual.
