De'Longhi Icona Capitals Kettle - Blue

To clean the anti-scale filter, gently remove it from the spout (it usually unlatches or pulls out). Rinse it under running water to dislodge loose limescale. For more stubborn deposits, you can use a soft brush or soak the filter in a descaling solution for a short period before rinsing thoroughly.

Descaling frequency depends on your local water hardness and usage. In hard water areas or with frequent use, descaling may be needed every 2-4 weeks. In softer water areas, every 2-3 months might be sufficient. Indicators for descaling include visible limescale, increased boiling time, or a change in water taste.

No, it is important to always fill the kettle with water above the `MIN` level indicator. Operating the kettle with insufficient water can damage the heating element and cause it to switch off prematurely.

Yes, the kettle itself is cordless. It lifts off its 360° rotational power base, making it easy to fill and pour from any angle. The power base, however, connects to a wall outlet via a cord.

The water level indicator is typically a clear window located on the side of the kettle, often beneath the handle, allowing for easy visibility of the water level during filling.

Ensure the kettle is securely placed on its power base and the base's cord is firmly plugged into a working wall outlet. Check if the power outlet itself is functional by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the power switch on the kettle is engaged.

Limescale buildup can reduce heating efficiency. Descale the kettle following the care instructions. Also, ensure the water level is between the `MIN` and `MAX` indicators. Low voltage in your power supply could also be a factor, though less common.

This indicates that the anti-scale filter needs cleaning or replacement, or the kettle requires descaling. Remove and clean the anti-scale filter as described in the 'Care & Maintenance' section. If the issue persists, perform a full descaling of the kettle.

Check that the lid is fully and correctly closed. Ensure the kettle has not been filled past the `MAX` water level indicator. If leakage persists despite these checks, discontinue use and contact customer support.

This could be due to excessive limescale buildup, causing the kettle to overheat prematurely. Descale the kettle thoroughly. Ensure the kettle is not overloaded with water and that the lid is properly closed.
