DESCALING THE ELECTRIC KETTLE
Calcium deposits may form on the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle. To get the best
performance from the Electric Kettle, clean periodically. The cleaning interval will depend on
the hardness of the water put into the Electric Kettle. The use of a commercial descaler is
recommended.
If a commercial descaler is not available:
1.
Fill the Electric Kettle with white vinegar to the minimum 0.5 L mark.
2.
Add water to the 1 L mark.
3.
Boil and allow to stand overnight.
4.
Empty the solution from the Electric Kettle.
5.
Fill the Electric Kettle with water, bring to a boil and drain out the water. Repeat this step
twice. The Electric Kettle is now ready to use.
