CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
1. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water, or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.
2 Wipe the body of the kettle with a mild, damp cloth or cleaner, never use an abrasive cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use chemicals, steel wool, abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle to prevent damage.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Your kettle should be periodically cleaned as mineral deposits in tap water may form scales on the bottom of the kettle and cause it to operate less
efficiently. You can use commercially available descalers and follow the instructions on the package. Alternatively, you may follow the instructions below,
using white vinegar.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 parts white vinegar, one part cold water. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
2. Discard the mixture in the kettle, then fill the kettle with clean water. Boil and then discard the water. Repeat several times until the odor of vinegar has
been flushed away. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.
