6.3 Descaling
Regular descaling is essential, especially in hard water areas, to maintain performance and extend the kettle's lifespan. Use a commercially available descaling agent suitable for kettles, following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, you can use a solution of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Boil the solution, let it stand for an hour, then rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
