Clean the outside surfaces with a soft damp cloth and

outside and inside walls of the kettle, wipe them with a damp
cloth and vinegar.

Rinse the kettle with fresh water.
Various black-coloured, rusty, milky, etc. deposits
may form inside the kettle and float on the water.
This is caused by minerals occurring naturally
in water (calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.). Such
discoloration is not caused by faulty operation of
the appliance and does not affect its use. In case
of substantial accumulation of mineral deposits,
proceed as described in the “Descaling” section.

it needs to be removed. For this purpose use 6-10% vinegar
or citric acid.

the polyethylene (PE) bags into a container for
plastics.
Dispose of the worn out appliance by handing it over to
a local disposal centre, as the dangerous elements of this
appliance can be hazardous to the environment.
