CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Make sure the kettle is cold before cleaning.
• Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
• Rinse out the kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Attention:

• Over time, the stainless-steel surface of the heating element inside the bottom of the kettle may change color slightly. This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element.
• If your water has a high iron content brownish stains may appear on the stainless steel element (this is also known as “boiler scale”). These stains can be wiped away with a  cloth and a mild abrasive. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water.
• Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle. Use a commercial descaling agent and follow the instructions that come with the agent.
  Note: Make sure the kettle is not hot.
