5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle and ensure optimal performance.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Interior Cleaning: The stainless steel interior can be cleaned by hand. Do not immerse the kettle or its base in water.
- 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 water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution. Boil the mixture, then let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour (or as per descaler instructions). Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
