CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Descaling the Smart Kettle
1.
Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
2.
Wipe the kettle and base with a soft,
damp cloth. Make sure that the electric
socket on the underside of the kettle is
kept dry.
3.
Dry all parts after every use.
1.
Unplug the kettle and pour out all water.
Make sure the kettle is cool.
2.
Squeeze half a lemon into the kettle,
or add ½ US cup / 118 mL of distilled
vinegar into the kettle.
3.
If the kettle has thick scale buildup, scrub
the kettle’s inner walls with a non-
scratch scrub sponge.
Note:
Never
immerse kettle or power base in water.
Note:
Do not
use steel wool, as this can scratch
the kettle.
Note:
For quick descaling, add 3 US tbsp / 44 mL of
baking soda to ½ US cup / 118 mL of vinegar into
the kettle. Swirl the mixture around until it coats the
walls of the kettle, wipe with a non-scratch sponge,
and pour the mixture out. This method will
only
work for a thin layer of scale.
You should descale the kettle at least once
a week if you use it frequently. Descaling
removes any mineral deposits that have
built up inside the kettle.
Always
descale
the kettle before and after storing for long
periods of time.
4.
Add 2 US cups / 473 mL of water. Boil the
mixture.
5.
Pour out the mixture, then wipe off any
remaining scale with a non-abrasive
cloth, sponge, or cleaning brush.
6.
Repeat as needed.
