FAQs
How do I clean the anti-calc filter?
Remove the filter from the kettle and rinse it under running water. You may use a soft brush to remove any particles.
What kind of water can I use?
You can use tap water. However, if you have hard water, regular descaling is recommended.
Can I boil water without the filter?
Yes, but the filter helps prevent limescale from entering your cup, so it's best to use it.
What should I do if the kettle smells like plastic?
Boil a full kettle of water and discard it. Repeat this process one or two times to eliminate any residual plastic smell.
How do I descale the kettle?
Use a descaling solution specifically made for kettles. Follow the instructions on the descaling product, and then rinse the kettle thoroughly.
What is the warranty period?
The warranty period is two years.
