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 any other liquid.
• From time to time, depending on your water supply, scaled water will begin to naturally form and
can be mostly found adhered onto the heating element, thus reducing heat efficiency.
•
The amount of scale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or rescale) largely depends on
the water hardness in your area and the frequency in which the kettle is used.
•
Boiled scale is not harmful to your health. But if your into your beverage, it can give a powdery taste
to your drink. Therefore, the kettle should be descaled periodically as indicated below.
