5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle and ensure optimal performance.
- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
- Interior Cleaning: For general cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water.
- Descaling: Limescale can build up over time, especially in hard water areas. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly) using one of the following methods:
- Vinegar Method: Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water. Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or boil if the limescale is heavy. Discard the solution and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
- Citric Acid Method: Dissolve 1 tablespoon of citric acid in 1 liter of water. Pour into the kettle and boil. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes, then discard and rinse thoroughly.
- Filter Cleaning: The integrated filter can be removed for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and gently brush away any limescale or debris. Ensure it is properly re-inserted before use.
The kettle includes a removable filter in the spout to prevent limescale particles from entering your cup.
