Descaling:
Mineral deposits (limescale) can accumulate inside the kettle over time, especially in areas with hard water. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain performance and water purity.
- Add a certain amount of white vinegar or citric acid solution to the kettle.

- Boil the solution and let it soak for approximately 30 minutes.
- Discard the solution, then clean the kettle interior with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any residual vinegar or citric acid taste.
The frequency of descaling depends on water hardness and usage. Descale more often if you notice significant mineral buildup.
