Using your Elechomes Electric Glass Kettle is simple:

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your kettle.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale:
   • Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
   • Boil the mixture.
   • Let it soak for 20-30 minutes, then discard the solution.
   • Rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • For stubborn deposits, you can repeat the process or use a specialized descaling solution.
4. Filter Cleaning: The mesh filter in the spout can be removed for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and gently brush away any deposits. Reattach it securely after cleaning.
5. Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place. You can wrap the power cord around the base for neat storage.
