CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Descaling the Kettle
1.
Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
2.
Wipe the kettle and base with a soft,
damp cloth. Make sure the electric
socket on the underside of the kettle is
kept dry.
3.
Dry all parts after every use.
You should descale the kettle at least once
a week if you use it frequently. Descaling
removes any mineral deposits that have
built up inside the kettle.
Always
descale
the kettle before and after storing for long
periods of time.
1.
Unplug the kettle and pour out all
water. Make sure the kettle is cool.
2.
Squeeze half a lemon into the kettle,
or add ½ US cup / 118 mL of distilled
vinegar into the kettle.
3.
If the kettle has thick scale buildup,
scrub the inner walls with a non-
scratch scrub sponge.
4.
Add 2 US cups / 473 mL of water. Boil
the mixture.
5.
Pour out the mixture, then wipe off any
remaining scale with a non-abrasive
cloth, sponge, or cleaning brush.
6.
Repeat as needed.
Note:
Never
immerse kettle or power base in
water.
Note:
For quick descaling, add 3 US tbsp / 44 mL
of baking soda and ½ US cup / 118 mL of vinegar
into the kettle. Swirl the mixture around until it
coats the walls of the kettle, wipe with a non-
scratch sponge, and pour the mixture out. This
method will
only
work for a thin layer of scale.
Note:
Do not
use steel wool, as this can scratch
the kettle.
Note: Do not
remove the filter from the lid. Doing so will break the filter.
