DESCALING:
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use, at least twice a year.
1. Fill the kettle up to MAX with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two parts
water. Switch on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
2. Let the mixture remain inside the kettle overnight
3. Throw the mixture away next morning.
4. Fill the kettle with clean water up to MAX and boil again.
5. Throw away this boiled water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar.
6. Rinse the inside of kettle with clean water.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR KETTLE:
Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn
spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or powders. Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids. From time to
time depending on the nature water supply, a lime scale deposit is naturally formed
and can be found mostly due to the heating element and reduces the heating
capacity. The amount of timescale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or
descale) largely depends on the water hardness in your area and the frequency with
which the kettle is used. Timescale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into your
beverage it can give a powdery taste to your drink. Therefore, the kettle should be
descaled periodically.
