To clean the filter (depending on model) The removable filter is made up of fabric which retains the particles of scale and stops them from falling into your cup when you pour. With very hard water, the filter becomes clogged with scale very quickly (10 to 15 uses). Sometimes the scale does not come away; if so, descaling is necessary. Descaling Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month and more frequently if your water is very hard. To descale your kettle, use: · white vinegar - fill the kettle with half a litre of vinegar - leave to stand for 1 hour without heating · citric acid: - boil half a litre of water - add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 minutes. · a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles: - follow the manufacturer's instructions. Repeat if necessary. To descale your filter (depending on model): Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
