Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your kettle.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar (or a commercial descaling solution). Bring to a boil and let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour, or overnight for heavy buildup. Empty and rinse thoroughly several times.
- Filter Cleaning: The integrated mesh filter can be removed and rinsed under running water to remove any loose particles. Ensure it is dry before reinserting.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the kettle is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
