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 depending on the nature of your water supply, a limescale
deposit is naturally formed and can be found mostly adhered to the heating
element and reduces the heating capacity. The amount of limescale 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.
Limescale 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 descaled periodically as indicated below:
DESCALING
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use, at least twice a year.
- Fill the kettle up to „MAX“ with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar 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.
