CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning:
Prior to any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the base stand from the power socket and allow the kettle to cool down. Do not wash the kettle, its base stand or power cord under running water and do not submerge them in water or another liquid. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaning products, etc. for cleaning the electric kettle or its base stand. Otherwise, its surface may be damaged.

• To clean the external parts of the kettle, use a dry cloth or a cloth dipped in a weak solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After washing it, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth and then wipe dry.
• Wipe the internal parts of the kettle using a soft sponge or clean cloth dipped in clean warm water. Do not use detergents or any other chemical agents on the internal parts. After cleaning the kettle, rinse it out several times with clean water.
• To clean the base stand, use only a dry cloth.

Removing limescale deposits

• During normal use, substances contained in water accumulate on the appliance to form so-called limescale deposits. These may negatively affect the lifetime of the kettle and ruin the taste and appearance of your beverage, so it is important to regularly remove them based on how frequently the kettle is used.

• When using the kettle at a frequency of 3 to 5 times per day, we recommend to remove water scale deposits:

  • once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
  • once every two to three months in areas with soft and medium hard water.

• Limescale deposits can be cleaned away using standard available limescale removal products (according to the manufacturer’s instructions) or use:

  • 8% white vinegar, generally available in stores. Fill the kettle with
    1 litre of water and ¼ litre of vinegar. Bring the solution to a boil and leave it to act in the kettle for 2 hours. Then empty the kettle and before further use, boil clean water in it four to five times.

  • citric acid. Boil 1 l of water in the kettle, into the boiled water, add 30 g of citric acid and allow the solution to act for about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and before further use, boil clean water in it four to five times.
