LIMESCALE

LIMESCALE BUILD-UP
It is important to regularly descale your kettle to prevent limescale building up over time. This build-up can cause damage to your kettle and alter the way your hot drinks taste. Follow these steps to minimize limescale build-up in your kettle: Empty the kettle after each use do not leave water in the kettle overnight. Use filtered water instea of tap water. Avoid using bottle water as this is classed as hard water.

DESCALE REGULARLY

Dualit recommends descaling regularly; at least once every 2 months. If you live in a hard water area you may need to descale more often. See our Water Hardness map to determine how often you should descale your kettle. Dualit recommends Kilrock K Multi-Purpose Descaler. This can be purchased from www.dualit.com Other descalers can be used; follow the instructions on the packaging. When descaling has finished empty the kettle and rinse it out a minimum of 3 times with fresh water. Refill with fresh water, boil, then discard the boiled water. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE INJURY. DO NOT HEAT THE KETTLE WITH A DESCALING SOLUTION IN IT.
