Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and appearance of your kettle.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Interior (Glass Carafe & Infuser): The glass carafe and tea infuser should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. The glass is stain-resistant.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water. Bring to a boil and let it stand for 30 minutes. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times. For stubborn deposits, repeat the process or use a commercial descaling solution.
