For the heaviest scale build-up use a scale/lime remover and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE:

Scale build-up can be reduced by pouring out water after Kettle use then refilling the Kettle when required.
The descaling process should be repeated periodically.
The use of filtered water can help to lengthen the life of your appliances by reducing limescale build up.
