If the kettle switches off before it boils or has a white deposit building up inside then it will need to be descaled.

Allow the kettle to boil, switch off, and then stand to allow the kettle to soak for approximately 15 – 20 minutes, (if necessary, adjust the standing time to the descaling products instructions).
Finally, empty the kettle and refill it with fresh clean water allow it to come to a boil and switch it off once more, then again pour the water away. Your kettle is now descaled and cleaned.
