CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING
•
Make sure the kettle is turned off and
unplugged. Before cleaning, allow the
kettle to cool completely.
•
If you have used the kettle to prepare
tea, clean it in the following manner
after every use. From the tea strainer
remove the tea, and clean the strainer
under warm running water. Then let
it dry on its own or dry it with a towel.
Wipe the kettle’s glass surface from
inside with a moist cleaning sponge to
remove any discoloration from tea, and
then rinse the inside of the kettle with
clean warm water. For cleaning, do not
use kitchen detergent or other chemical
substances, steel wool or abrasive
cleaners that may damage the kettle’s
surface.
•
Once a month, we recommend
removing tannin residue left from
brewing tea. Fill the kettle with 1 l of
water, and put the juice and peel of one
lemon into it. Boil water in the kettle
and let the liquid stand overnight. Then
empty the water kettle, and before
using it again, boil clean water in it 4 or
5 times.
•
If you have used the kettle to boil water,
it is enough to empty the contents after
each use.
•
If necessary, you can wash the internal
and external lids under running water
with some neutral kitchen detergent.
Then thoroughly rinse under clean
running water and dry. You can rub
the external surface of the kettle with
a slightly moist rag and then wipe it
dry. To clean the stand and the interior
surface of the kettle bottom, use a dry
rag.
•
For cleaning, never use abrasive
cleaning agents, gasoline, solvents, etc.
Do not submerge the kettle (except for
the lid and tea strainer), the stand or
the power cable in water or wash these
parts under running water.
REMOVING SCALE DEPOSITS
•
Limescale deposited in the kettle may
negatively affect its life, so regularly
remove it, based on how often the water
kettle is used. With ordinary use (3 to 5
times a day), we recommend removing
limescale:
Once a month in areas with hard or
very hard water;
Once every two to three months in
areas with soft or moderately hard
water.
•
Limescale can be removed with:
8% white vinegar, commonly sold
in stores. Fill the kettle with ¾ l
water and ¼ l vinegar. Bring the
solution to a boil, and let it stand in
the kettle for 2 hours. Then empty
the water kettle, and before using
it again, boil clean water in it 4 or 5
times.
Citric acid. In the water kettle, boil
1 l of water, and add 30 g of citric
acid and let the solution stand for
about 30 minutes. Then empty the
water kettle, and before using it
again, boil clean water in it 4 or 5
times.
