Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
• Interior Cleaning: The wide opening makes the interior easy to clean by hand.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance.
  • Fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy deposits.
  • Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
  • For stubborn deposits, repeat the process or use a commercial descaling solution following its instructions.
