[. . . ] In some models, a handy external water level indicator (I) enables you to see the quantity of water in the kettle. Do not fill with less than 0, 25 liters(10-Ounces) of water to prevent the kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element. Do not fill with more than 1, 7 liters (58-Ounces) of water (up to the MAX indication located inside the kettle) (fig. If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected causing burns. [. . . ] CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning the kettle · Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the outlet before cleaning. · Do not immerse the kettle or base in water. · Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth. · DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents. · Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry. 7 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 colored 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. Water filter Your kettle is fitted with a water 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 water filter · Allow the kettle to cool down completely. · Disconnect the appliance from the outlet. · 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 water filter as shown in fig. · Rinse under a tap while cleaning with a soft brush (fig.
