HELPFUL HINTS:
• Never try to boil water with the lid open.
• Do not leave water standing in the kettle. Discard unused water.
• If the kettle is "ON" without water, the kettle will automatically turn off (the
blue indicator light will turn off, but the switch will NOT jump back). Slide the
switch (B) downward to the complete OFF position.
• If you remove the kettle during heating – before Auto Shut-Off – the blue
indicator light will turn off but the switch will stay in the ON position. If you
place the kettle back on the power base, the light will turn on again, indicat-
ing that heating continues. You can always slide the switch downward to the
complete OFF position.
CLEANING
• Always unplug cord of power base before cleaning.
• Make sure kettle is cold.
• Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
• Rinse out kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
• Over time the stainless steel cover of the heating element inside the bottom
of the kettle may change color slightly. This is caused by the intense heat of
the heating element.
• If your water has a high iron content brownish stains may appear on the
stainless steel element (this is also known as "boiler scale"). These stains can
be wiped away with a cloth and a mild abrasive. Rinse kettle thoroughly with
fresh water.
DECALCIFICATION
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle. Use a commercial
descaling agent and follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure kettle is cold.
Use of Vinegar
You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside. Fill the kettle with 2 cups
of water (16 oz) and add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a boil.
Discard the solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse the kettle once or twice with
fresh cold water.
Use of DURGOL
Capresso and many European companies recommend "DURGOL" liquid decal-
cifying agent. It removes calcium deposits up to 20 times faster than vinegar.
Diluted DURGOL can also be used for coffee makers, steam irons (cold only!)
and for many other needs in your household.
• Pour a cap-full of DURGOL over the round stainless steel cover. It will
dissolve any stains. Rinse thoroughly with fresh cold water. Repeat once or
twice if necessary. Do not heat the kettle!
