Care & Maintenance<br />
CARE OF THE SYSTEM Water is a foodstuff and we recommend that any treated water is<br />
consumed or discarded within 2 days.<br />
In the event of the filter not being used for more than 48 hours, flush the filter twice with cold<br />
water and discard the water before continuing use as normal. Should the system not be used for<br />
an extended period of time (for example a holiday), we recommend that the filter is removed and<br />
placed in a clean plastic bag and stored in the fridge.This will help to maintain the filter when not<br />
in use. Before using the filter after storage, follow the installation instructions for use as normal.<br />
The filter should be stored out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.<br />
The upper vessel, filter holder and lid should be washed regularly, at least every time the filter is<br />
replaced.<br />
CLEANING Switch the kettle off, unplug from the mains and allow the appliance to cool down<br />
fully before cleaning.<br />
Wipe the kettle inside and out with a damp cloth and clean the water filter and tank.<br />
Don’t use any washing–up liquid or anything that may taint the water.<br />
Don’t submerge the kettle or stand in water.<br />
DON’T USE HARSH OR ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS OR SOLVENTS.<br />
DESCALING The water filter will help reduce the limescale and phosphate scale in your kettle,<br />
but you should still check your kettle frequently for signs of build up, even in soft water areas.<br />
Limescale may be white coloured even rusty looking, but is normally visible. Phosphate scale isn’t<br />
generally visible but it’s there even in soft water regions. Scale causes overheating of the appliance,<br />
reducing kettle life.<br />
Before using a descaler remove the water filter, as the descaler<br />
will damage it. Use a suitable descaler for the appliance. Follow<br />
the instructions on the descaler, rinse several times, then fill,<br />
boil and discard water to ensure that there are no residues<br />
left.<br />
PURIFIER SEAL Care should be taken to ensure that the<br />
purifier seal is fitted correctly otherwise un-filtered water may<br />
leak into the lower vessel. If the seal becomes dislodged during<br />
cleaning or during transportation it can be easily re-fitted onto<br />
the tabs on the lower side of the upper vessel.<br />
