Descaling:

Limescale can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas, affecting performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or every two months).

• Use a commercially available descaling solution suitable for kettles, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Alternatively, you can use a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Fill the kettle with the solution, boil it, and let it stand for at least 30 minutes (or longer for heavy scale).
• Empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any residue and odor.
