descaling

  • Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following:

  • problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling.

  • the kettle may take longer to boil.

  • the flat element may be damaged.
    Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

  • When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle – it can damage the parts.

  • Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regular cleaning.

  • Alternatively, to reduce limescale buildup, use filtered water to fill your kettle.
