For safety and peace of mind, the kettle is equipped with:

• Automatic Shut-Off: The kettle automatically turns off once the water has reached a full boil.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your kettle.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale:
   • Fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
   • Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy deposits.
   • Discard the mixture and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • For stubborn deposits, you may need to repeat the process or gently scrub with a non-abrasive brush.
4. Tea Infuser Cleaning: The stainless steel tea infuser can be easily removed and rinsed under running water. For thorough cleaning, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
