- Boil the mixture.
- Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale.
- Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any residue and vinegar smell.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a dry place. You can wrap the power cord around the base for neat storage.
