DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing mineral
deposits, which may form in the interior of
the kettle and may result in discolouration.
To get the best performance from your unit,
decalcify your unit from time to time.
Frequency will depend on the hardness of
your water and how often you use the unit.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order
to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow
the directions on the descaler package.
Alternatively,
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups (750 ml) of white
vinegar, then adding water to the amount
so as to cover the bottom of kettle
completely. Leave the solution in the kettle
overnight.
2. Then discard the mixture in the kettle,
then filling the kettle with clean water,
boiling and then discard the water.
Repeat several times until the odour of
vinegar has been flushes away. Any
stains remaining inside the spout can be
removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.
