Maintenance
Regular cleaning and descaling will prolong the life of your kettle and ensure optimal performance.
Cleaning the Exterior
- Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the stainless steel finish.
- Ensure the power base and cord remain dry.
Cleaning the Interior and Filter
- The interior of the kettle can be cleaned with a soft brush or sponge and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- The detachable filter can be removed for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush if necessary to remove any deposits. Reinsert the filter securely after cleaning.
Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly.
Image: A four-step guide demonstrating how to remove limescale from the kettle: 1. Identify deposits, 2. Pour citric acid or vinegar and water, 3. Boil the solution, 4. Observe the clean kettle interior.
- Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water (or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions).
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Allow the solution to soak in the kettle for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy deposits.
- Pour out the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any vinegar smell or residue.
- For stubborn deposits, you may need to repeat the process.
