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 powers. Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
Descaling
From time to time, depending on the nature of your water supply, limescale would be naturally formed and can be found mostly adhered to the heating element, thus reducing the heating efficiency.
The amount of limescale deposit (and subsequently the need to clean or rescale) 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.
