4.5 Descaling

Regularly removing any deposits of scale 
inside the kettle will prolong your kettle’s 
life, ensuring maximum performance and 
energy savings. 
The kettle can be descaled using specific 
descaling products.

Leave the descaling product to act, then 
rinse thoroughly. Then boil at least two full 
kettles of water, disposing of the boiling 
water safely, to remove any residue of the 
product before use.
Alternatively, you can use common 
household vinegar. 
Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the kettle with water (1 litre) and boil it.
2. Add the white vinegar (from 0.1 to 0.5 l 

depending on the amount of scale).

3. Leave it to act overnight.

4. Empty the kettle.

5. Fill the kettle with water and boil it. Empty 

the kettle, disposing of the water safely. 
Repeat this operation at least twice.

Improper use

Risk of damage to the appliance

•  Do not use descaling products for 

cleaning bathrooms or kitchens, or 
scented products.

Tips and suggestions for the user

•  Scale build-up can cause the kettle to 

switch off during use before the water 
has boiled. Boiling times could also be 
increased. 

•  If the kettle is used daily, or if it becomes 

more difficult to pour out the water, 
descale the kettle and filter more 
frequently.

•  In some regions the water is harder, and 

in these areas it could have a cloudy 
appearance and leave residue on the 
walls of the kettle. In this case, clean the 
inside of the kettle more frequently or 
use purified/softened water.
