[. . . ] Do not fill with more than 1. 7 litres of water. If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may overflow and cause burns. A handy water level window enables you to see the quantity of water in the kettle. Be economical: do not boil more water than you need. [. . . ] 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. Descaling Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following: problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling. Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee. When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts. Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle.
