Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the kettle's performance and extends its lifespan.

General Cleaning:

• Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Descaling is recommended periodically.

• Fill the kettle with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution.
• Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if the limescale is heavy.
• Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any residue and odor.
• For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the interior with a non-abrasive sponge.
