Care and Cleaning

Always unplug both appliances from the power outlet and allow them to cool completely before cleaning.

General Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior surfaces of both the kettle and toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Never immerse the kettle base, power cord, or toaster in water or any other liquid.

Kettle Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, affecting its performance. Descale regularly, especially in hard water areas.

1. Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if the scale is heavy.
3. Pour out the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times.
4. Boil fresh water in the kettle and discard it to remove any residual vinegar taste.

Toaster Crumb Tray:

• Pull out the removable crumb tray located at the bottom of the toaster.
• Discard crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the crumb tray is completely dry before reinserting it into the toaster.
• Empty the crumb tray regularly to prevent fire hazards.
