Do not try to use the kettle during this time; once it has cooled down, it will resume its normal function.
Care and Maintenance
- Wipe the kettle and power base with a soft, damp cloth then allow it to dry thoroughly.
- Do not immerse the kettle in water or any other liquid.
- Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the kettle as this could cause damage.
Removing Limescale
Limescale can develop over time and may affect the performance and lifespan of the kettle. It is recommended to descale the kettle regularly, at least once every three months, especially if the kettle is used in a hard water area. Frequent descaling will improve the performance and lifespan of the kettle.

STEP 3: Allow the kettle to boil, switch it off and leave to soak for at least 20 minutes or for the length of time specified on the
descaling product. -
STEP 4: Empty the kettle and reflll to the max. fill mark with clean water. Boil the kettle once more and pour the water away after it has cooled. The kettle should now be descaled.
If the kettle switches off before it has boiled or a white deposit is noticed on the inside of the kettle, it needs to be descaled. Add a commercial descaling agent to the kettle, adhering to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is not recommended to use vinegar to descale the kettle.
