Keep It Clean
1.
Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2.
Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and
carefully washing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle
thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp
cloth. WARNING: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water or wash in
the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.
3.
To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing it with a
clean cloth or brush. Do not remove the filter from the spout.
4.
Wash the tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the infuser
is not dishwasher safe.
NOTE: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze-coloured tea stain on
the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres when reheated at high
temperatures. To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice,
and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove the
bronze-coloured staining, add a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to
a fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow the kettle to cool, discard
the water, and thoroughly wash and dry the kettle before your next use.
Decalcifying
Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and
cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify
it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water
and how often you use the kettle. You can either use a commercial descaler
(following the package directions) or use vinegar and water, and follow the
directions below:
1.
Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about
13 mm (½ inch). Heat the vinegar to a boil.
2.
Repeat this process with fresh vinegar until all deposits are removed.
3.
When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it
out several times with clean water.
