CAUTIONS:
Your tea kettle is NOT dishwasher safe - DO NOT put it in the dishwasher.
Always unplug the power cord and let your kettle cool down completely
before cleaning.
Never immerse your kettle, cord, or heating base in water, or let moisture
come in contact with these parts.
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside
of your kettle. These substances can scratch the surface or fade the color.

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolor or
"scale."To remove this build-up, use non-toxic liquid de-scaler or tea scale
cleaning tablets.
1. Fill your kettle with three cups of white vinegar and the remainder with water
and let it stand overnight. Do not boil.
2. Empty the solution from your kettle. Remove remaining stains with a damp
cloth.
3. Boil two full kettles of water, then discard the water.
