Frequently Asked Questions - PerfectTime EWA1260 AEG

How to descale my AEG PerfectTime EWA1260 kettle?

To descale, use a descaling product or white vinegar. Fill the kettle halfway with water, add the descaler, bring to a boil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Regular descaling improves performance and prevents premature shut-off.

What to do if the kettle stops before boiling?

This is generally due to scale buildup on the base. Perform descaling as described above. Also ensure that the lid is properly closed.

Why does the kettle not stop after boiling?

Check that the lid is properly engaged and that the anti-scale filter is correctly inserted. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
