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 powders. Never
immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
From time to time, dependent on the nature of
your water supply, a lime scale deposit is naturally
formed and can be found mostly adhered to
the heating element and reducing the heating
capacity.
The amount of lime scale 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.
Lime 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
descale periodically as indicated below:
DESCALING:
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use: at
least twice a year.
- Fill the kettle up to the "MAX" with a mixture
of one part acetic acid and two parts water.
Switch on and wait for the appliance to
switch off automatically.
- Let the mixture remain inside the kettle
overnight.
- Throw the mixture away the next morning.
- Fill the kettle with clean water up to "MAX"
and boil again.
- Throw away this boiled water to remove any
remaining scale and vinegar.
- Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
