CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1.
Cleaning
•
Make sure the kettle is turned off and unplugged. Before cleaning, allow the kettle to cool completely.
•
If you have used the kettle to prepare tea, clean it in the following manner after every use. From
the tea strainer A
qf
remove the tea, and clean the strainer A
qf
under warm running water. Then
let it dry on its own or dry it with a towel. Wipe the kettle’s glass surface from inside with a moist
cleaning sponge to remove any discoloration from tea, and then rinse the inside of the kettle with
clean warm water. For cleaning, do not use kitchen detergent or other chemical substances, steel
wool or abrasive cleaners that may damage the kettle’s surface.
•
Once a month, we recommend removing tannin residue left from brewing tea. Fill the kettle with
1 l of water, and put the juice and peel of one lemon into it. Boil water in the kettle and let the
liquid stand overnight. Then empty the water kettle, and before using it again, boil clean water in
it 4 or 5 times.
•
If you have used the kettle to boil water, it is enough to empty the contents after each use.
•
If necessary, you can wash the internal and external lids A
2
and A
3
under running water with some
neutral kitchen detergent. Then thoroughly rinse under clean running water and dry. You can rub
the external surface of the kettle with a slightly moist rag and then wipe it dry. To clean the stand
A
6
and the interior surface of the kettle bottom, use a dry rag.
•
For cleaning, never use abrasive cleaning agents, gasoline, solvents, etc. Do not submerge the kettle
(except for the lid and tea strainer A
qf
), the stand A
6
or the power cable in water or wash these
parts under running water.
2.
Removing scale deposits
•
Limescale deposited in the kettle may negatively affect its life, so regularly remove it, based on how
often the water kettle is used. With ordinary use (3 to 5 times a day), we recommend removing
limescale:
–
Once a month in areas with hard or very hard water;
–
Once every two to three months in areas with soft or moderately hard water.
•
Limescale can be removed with:
–
8% white vinegar, commonly sold in stores. Fill the kettle with ¾ l water and ¼ l vinegar. Bring
the solution to a boil, and let it stand in the kettle for 2 hours. Then empty the water kettle,
and before using it again, boil clean water in it 4 or 5 times.
–
Citric acid. In the water kettle, boil 1 l of water, and add 30 g of citric acid and let the solution
stand for about 30 minutes. Then empty the water kettle, and before using it again, boil clean
water in it 4 or 5 times.
