Maintenance and Cleaning

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

Exterior Cleaning

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Interior Descaling

Limescale buildup can affect performance and energy efficiency. Descale your kettle regularly, especially in hard water areas.

1. 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 the product's instructions.
2. Boil the solution.
3. Allow the solution to stand in the kettle for at least one hour, or as recommended by the descaling solution manufacturer.
4. Empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly several times with fresh water.
5. Boil fresh water in the kettle and discard it to remove any residual taste or odor from the descaling process.

Anti-scale Filter Cleaning

• The anti-scale filter located behind the spout can be removed for cleaning.
• Rinse the filter under running water and gently brush away any mineral deposits.
• Ensure the filter is correctly re-inserted before using the kettle.
