HOW TO CARE FOR 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 powers.
• Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
• From time to time, depended on the nature of your water supply, a boiled scale deposit is naturally
formed and can be found mostly adhered to the heating element, thus reducing the heating efficiency.
• The amount of boiled scale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or rescale) largely depends
on the water hardness in your area the frequency with which the kettle is used.
• Boiled scale 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 as indicated below.
DESCALING
• Descale kettle regularly. With normal use: at least twice a year. 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.
• Let the mixture remain inside the kettle overnight. Discard the mixture the next morning.
• Fill the kettle with clean water up to "max" mark and boil again. Discard the boiled water to remove any
remaining scale and vinegar.
• Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
