Descaling

• The need for descaling depends on the hardness of the water you are heating and how often you use the kettle.
• Scale and debris can cause the kettle to shut off before the water reaches the boiling point. At the same time, water boiled in this way can spoil the beverage being prepared.
• To descale the kettle, we recommend using commercially available descaling products. Therefore, follow the instructions on the packaging or in the product’s accompanying documentation.
• Do not use vinegar or other substances for descaling.

Storage

• Before storing, clean the kettle according to the instructions above.
• Store the kettle in its original box or other packaging in a dry and shady place out of reach of children and pets.
