Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your kettle.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth. Hand wash the interior of the kettle with mild soap and water.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may build up inside the kettle. To descale, fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Bring to a boil and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your kettle, refer to the following common solutions:

• Kettle not heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the base and the wall outlet. Check if the kettle is properly seated on the base.
• Water not reaching desired temperature: Verify the temperature setting on the LCD screen. Ensure the lid is securely placed on the kettle during heating.
• Kettle leaks: Ensure the lid is properly sealed and the kettle is not overfilled beyond the MAX line.
