Descaling the kettle
Depending on the water hardness in your area, scale may build up inside the kettle over time and affect the performance of the kettle.

Add white vinegar or slices of fresh lemons to the kettle (step 2).
Fill the kettle with water to maximum water level (step 3).
Boil the mixture.
Wait for 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on the severity of the scale) before rinsing the kettle (step 7).
Use a brush or cleaning cloth to remove any stain (step 8).
Fill the kettle with water again and boil it twice before using (steps 9-12).
