1. Exterior Cleaning:

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Ensure no water enters the electrical components of the power base.

2. Descaling:

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Descale regularly to maintain performance.

• Fill the kettle with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if scale is heavy.
• Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
• If necessary, repeat the process.

3. Cleaning the Tea Infuser:

• Remove the infuser from the kettle.
• Rinse it under running water to remove tea leaves.
• For thorough cleaning, use a small brush to clean the mesh.
• The infuser is typically dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve its finish.
