descaling
●
Regular descaling of the flat
element will improve the
performance of your kettle. If the
kettle is not descaled regularly the
build up of limescale may result in
the following:
●
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
●
the kettle may take longer to boil.
●
the flat element may be
damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
●
When limescale starts to build up
on the heating element, buy a
suitable descaler and descale your
kettle. After descaling, boil with
fresh water several times and
discard. Clean any descaler off the
kettle - it can damage the parts.
