NOTE:
Through regular use over time, scale
build-up can af ect the performance
and the life of the Tea Maker. Lime and
phosphate are common forms of scale
that can damage your Tea Maker. Lime
scale, a harmless mineral, comes in the
appearance of white-coloured or rusty
looking build up on the inner walls and
inner base of the Glass Jug. Phosphate
scale can’t be seen, however, it can
cause the water to appear cloudy when
heated. To prevent scale from damaging
your Tea Maker, ensure to de-scale the
Glass Jug regularly.
Use a commercial de-scaling agent and
follow the instructions that come with
the agent.
Alternative solution:
1. Fill the glass kettle until two-thirds full with
1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and al-
low to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the glass kettle. Fill
the glass kettle with clean water, bring to
boil and discard the water. Repeat and the
glass kettle will be ready to use.
