5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle and ensure optimal performance.

1. Before Cleaning: 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, as they may scratch the surface.
3. Interior Cleaning: The 304 stainless steel inner liner is designed for easy cleaning and resistance to scale formation. Rinse the interior with clean water.
4. 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 one part white vinegar and two parts water.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale.
   • Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • For stubborn deposits, a non-abrasive descaling solution designed for kettles can be used following the product's instructions.
5. Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place.
