Decalcification
In areas with a high calcium content in the water supply,
the Kettle should be decalcified at regular intervals.
• Fill the Kettle with a solution of 3 cups water and 10
tablespoons of vinegar and bring to a boil.
• When process is complete, rinse the Kettle twice with
clean water.
• Commercially available liquid decalcifiers may also be
used. Follow the instructions provided with decalcifier by
its manufacturer.
Regular decalcification will keep the Kettle operating at
peak performance and electrical efficiency. It will also
extend the life of the Kettle.
Over time slightly brownish stains may appear inside of the Kettle. This is not rusting of the Kettle, it is a result of high
iron content in the water supply, often referred to as boiler scale. These stains can be easily wiped away with a cloth or
mild abrasive. Rinse Kettle thoroughly after decalcification or cleaning.
Scale Filter
To prevent loose particles of limescale being poured into your beverage, the Kettle is equipped with a scale filter behind
the spout. The filter is removable for cleaning and replacement. Do not operate the kettle without this filter in place. If
this filter is removed, the function of the steam switch will be compromised. Replacement filters are available from the
EdgeCraft Corp.
• Before removing the filter (for replacement or cleaning):
– make sure the Kettle is unplugged from the power source.
– do not attempt to remove the filter when hot or when the Kettle contains hot water.
• To remove the filter (Fig.2), open the Kettle and carefully place a finger under the handle of the screen (A), slide the screen
upward, and lift it out of its track (B).
• Scale can be removed from the filter by:
- running water over filter under a tap, while gently brushing with a soft nylon brush.
- or by soaking the filter in heated vinegar solution or a commercially available descaling agent.
• To reinsert the filter, hold the screen by its handle (A), insert it into the plastic grooves and slide it down the grooves (B)
until it seats firmly in place.
• Never leave the filter loose inside the kettle. Ensure that the filter is always correctly secured behind the spout.
