Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your kettle.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining water and dry the interior of the kettle.
• Hand Wash Only: The kettle body, lid, and infuser basket should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals.
• Avoid Submerging: Never submerge the power base or its cord in water or any other liquid.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water (or use a citric acid descaling agent). Boil the mixture, then let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Discard the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with fresh water.
