5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.

Exterior Cleaning:

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

Interior Cleaning and Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste.

1. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale.
3. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
4. For stubborn deposits, a commercial descaling solution designed for kettles can be used following the product's instructions.
5. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials inside the kettle.

When not in use, ensure the kettle is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
