Sometimes scale will build up inside the boiling chamber.
This needs to be removed periodically to ensure good
heating element life, and high-quality drinking water.
Note
: If you rinse the boiling chamber every time you fill
it, you will rarely get build-up of scale inside the boiling
chamber, and will rarely have to clean it.
