8.2 Descaling
In order to remove scale deposited inside the kettle and on the heating element,
prepare a solution of water and vinegar (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Pour the
solution into the electric kettle and heat it up, but DO NOT BOIL THE SOLUTION!
Leave the solution in the kettle for about 1 hour, then pour it out. Refill the kettle with
water up to the maximum level and boil the water. Pour the water out and remove any
residue with a damp cloth. If the water at your location leaves lots of scale, frequent
descaling is recommended. Do not perform descaling using chemicals designed for
coffee makers or irons.
