Descaling
- To extend the kettle's lifetime and save energy, we recommend the following descaling frequency:
- Every 3 months in case of normal use (up to 5 times a day) with low to medium water hardness.
- Every month in case of more frequent usage or with hard water.
- The water hardness you can check with your local water supplier.
- Boil 0.8 l water in the kettle.
- Important: Switch off the kettle and add 0.4 l household vinegar (4% acid). Do not boil the contents as it may cause spilling being a danger of scalding.
- Let the mix of water and vinegar sit in the kettle overnight.
- Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly with fresh water. Fill the kettle with fresh water and boil it.
- Empty the kettle and rinse it again with fresh water.
- If the kettle still contains scale, repeat this procedure.
- To remove any scale from the scale filter, you may soak it in diluted vinegar.
