Removing scale

To maintain the kettle in a good working order, it needs to be de-scaled frequently. Here 
are a few methods for doing this:

1. 

Use a reputable product that removes scale and follow the instruction leaflet.

2. 

Add 0.5L white vinegar to the kettle, let it soak for an hour then drain it from the  

 

kettle. Rinse the kettle out with clean water at least 5x after doing so. 

3. 

Fill the kettle with 0.5L water and add 25 grams of citric acid. Soak for 15 minutes  

 

and then rinse the kettle at least 5 times with clean water. 

1

The kettle shuts down before 

boiling has completed.

• 

This could be due to too much scale 

on the kettle. 

• 

There may be too little water in the 

kettle.

• 

If the kettle was empty and it 

dry-combusted then fill the kettle 

with water and the kettle should re-

set after 2 minutes.

2

The kettle does not work.

• 

Check your connection.

• 

Check your electric cord for dam-

age. If damaged you must get a 

replacement cord from the dealer.

3

There is a peculiar smell in the 

kettle.

• 

This phenomenon usually happens 

with a new kettle. 

• 

If the smell persists, fill your kettle to 

the max with water, add 2 table-

spoons of bicarbonate and bring 

the water to the boil. Rinse well.

4

The kettle inside is dirty o r has 

scale.

If your local water is hard this can cause 

a build up of calcium carbonate and 

magnesium carbonate. Follow the steps 

under Removing scale to treat and 

resolve this.
