Cleaning Your Kettle:

WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the product, do not pour cold water into the Appliance after use and do not use abrasive cleaners/pads to clean any part of the product.

• Make sure the Kettle is empty and has had time to cool before handling it.
• Do not run any part of this appliance in the Dishwasher.

• Remove Kettle from base and clean with a non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.

• Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or using again.

Descaling Your Kettle:

WARNING: Always unplug the product before any cleaning. Dry all parts after every use. Descale your kettle monthly to avoid tougher stains.

Descaling:

Descaling is the removal of mineral deposits from stainless steel. All water contains calcium and minerals, including purified and filtered water. After your kettle's first use, you may see the first signs of deposits which may be white to reddish brown in color. These stains are not rust nor are they toxic.

Note: Reheating tea in your kettle may discolor or stain the stainless-steel surface at the base of the kettle.

To descale your kettle, fill a kettle full of water, add a small amount of white vinegar, and boil. Unplug the kettle and allow the solution to sit for an hour. For darker stains leave overnight. This will remove most deposits that have built up from normal use. Rinse out solution, add fresh water, and boil again. Allow to cool, follow with thorough cleaning, and dry before next use.

VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION: For a stronger solution, use equal amounts of White vinegar and water. Make enough to fill your reservoir to the MAX.
