De-scaling
Storing instructions
CAUTION: Always unplug kettle and allow to cool before cleaning. Never
immerse power base, cord, or plug in water or other liquids. Don’t use scouring
pads or harsh cleansers to clean your kettle as they may damage the surface.
1. Make sure the kettle is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Grasp the handle and remove the kettle from the power base.
If necessary, wipe the inside and outside of the kettle with a soft, damp
cloth and wipe dry.
3. Wipe the power base with a damp cloth.
4. Make sure both the power base and kettle are completely dry after cleaning
and before use.
NOTE: Mineral deposits can form a scale coating inside the kettle and may
cause an off flavor in the water or lengthen the boiling time.
1. Several de-scalers are available. Follow the instructions provided.
2. As an alternative, use the white vinegar cleaning method:
• In a spouted bowl, prepare a de-scaling solution of 3 cups white vinegar
and 2 cups cool, clean water and pour into kettle. Do not boil the solution,
as it may damage the kettle.
• Allow the solution to soak in the kettle overnight.
• Discard the cleaning solution. Fill the kettle with cool, clean water; boil,
discard, and rinse thoroughly.
• Repeat this procedure few times until the vinegar odor is gone.
