6. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your kettle.
- Cleaning: The Corvo EKG Pro is not dishwasher safe. Always hand wash the kettle. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Descaling: Mineral deposits (limescale) will naturally accumulate inside the kettle over time, especially in areas with hard water. To remove these deposits, use a descaling solution specifically designed for kettles, or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Fill the kettle with the solution, bring to a boil, let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then discard. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the kettle is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
