2. Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly depending on water hardness).
- Fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, or use a commercial descaling agent according to its instructions.
- Bring the solution to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
- Pour out the solution and rinse the interior thoroughly several times with fresh water.
- Boil fresh water in the kettle 2-3 times and discard to remove any residual vinegar taste or descaling agent.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Kettle does not heat. | Not plugged in; kettle not properly seated on base; no water; power outage. | Ensure plug is firmly in outlet. Place kettle correctly on base. Fill with water above MIN line. Check power supply. |
| Water does not reach desired temperature. | Incorrect temperature setting; limescale buildup. | Verify temperature setting on display. Descale the kettle as per maintenance instructions. |
| Kettle switches off prematurely. | Kettle boiled dry (safety feature); lid not closed properly. | Ensure water level is above MIN line. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. Ensure lid is securely closed. |
| Unusual taste in water. | First use residues; limescale buildup; improper cleaning. | Perform initial cleaning steps again. Descale the kettle. Ensure thorough rinsing after cleaning. |
| Flaking or discoloration inside kettle. | Mineral deposits (limescale) or natural discoloration of stainless steel. | This is typically limescale. Descale the kettle. If discoloration persists after descaling and cleaning, and you suspect a material defect, contact customer support. |
