CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DESCALING
Your kettle will not work properly if it is not descaled regularly. Regular
descaling can increase the life of the kettle, allowing it to boil water
faster and with less energy. Scale is a naturally occurring buildup of mineral
deposits caused by impurities in water, especially hard water. For best
performance, descale the kettle every 4-8 weeks or whenever scale buildup is
present inside. Descaling can be completed with a descaling agent specifically
designed for kettles. Follow the directions on the descaling agent package,
OR
- Fill the kettle with equal parts water and white vinegar.
- Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Discard solution and rinse kettle thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat this process until all deposits are removed
