Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and longevity of your electric kettle.

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 with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas.
   • Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water.
   • Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
   • Pour out the mixture and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • For stubborn deposits, gently scrub with a non-abrasive brush or sponge.
4. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the kettle body or power base in water or any other liquid.
