5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your kettle.

General Cleaning:

1. Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Never immerse the power base or the kettle's electrical components in water or any other liquid.

Cleaning the Infuser:

• The stainless steel infuser is removable for easy cleaning.
• After each use, remove the infuser and rinse it under running water. Use a small brush if necessary to remove tea leaf residues.
• Ensure the infuser is completely dry before reassembling or storing.

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 water and white vinegar (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) or a commercial descaling solution according to product instructions.
• Boil the solution.
• Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
• Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any vinegar odor or descaling residue.

6. Troubleshooting

• Kettle does not turn on or heat:
  • Ensure the kettle is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
  • Check if the kettle is correctly placed on the power base.
  • Verify that the ON/OFF button has been pressed.
• Infuser does not descend or rise automatically:
  • Ensure the infuser is correctly assembled and not obstructed by tea leaves or other debris.
  • Check that the lid is securely closed.
  • If the issue persists, try restarting the brewing cycle.
• Water tastes unusual:
  • Perform the initial cleaning steps (boiling and discarding water) again.
  • Ensure the kettle is regularly descaled.
• Kettle leaks:
  • Do not overfill the kettle beyond the 'MAX WATER' line.
  • Ensure the lid is properly closed.
