4 Slide the filter back in to refit.

descaling

●

When limescale builds up on the

heating element, buy a suitable

descaler and descale your kettle.

Limescale makes your kettle take

longer to boil and can make the

element burn out. After descaling,

boil with fresh water several times

and discard. Clean any descaler off

the kettle - it can damage the parts.

●

Some regions of the country have

chalky water. This makes boiled

water look cloudy and leaves a

deposit on the side of the kettle. This

is normal but can be removed with

regular cleaning.

●

Alternatively, to reduce limescale

build up, use filtered water to fill your

kettle.
