Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your Pukomc Electric Water Kettle.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty the kettle. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

- Add 1 cup of white vinegar and 3 cups of water to the kettle.
- Heat to a boil, then turn off and let it sit overnight.
- Alternatively, use half a teaspoon of cream of tartar in half a kettle of water.
- After emptying the descaling solution, refill the kettle with fresh water only, bring it to a boil, and drain. Repeat this rinsing process twice more to remove any residual taste or odor.
- Storage: Ensure the kettle is clean and dry before storing. Wrap the excess cord around the cord storage base.
