Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The kettle body and lid should be hand washed only. Do not immerse the power base in water or any other liquid.

2. Descaling (Removing Limescale)

Limescale may form on the bottom of the kettle during the boiling process, especially if the water is not completely filtered of calcium and magnesium metal ions. Limescale will not form if only pure or distilled water is heated. Water quality varies by geography, as does hardness and scale generation.

  1. Add a certain amount of white vinegar or citric acid to the kettle.
  2. Boil the solution and let it soak for 30 minutes.
  3. Clean the kettle thoroughly and wipe it with a soft rag.

The frequency of descaling is determined by usage and water hardness.
