HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth or sponge.
Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid
detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powers.
• Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
• From time to time, depending on the nature of your water
supply, a boiled scale deposit is naturally formed and can be
found mostly adhered to the heating element, thus reducing the
heating efficiency.
• The amount of boiled scale deposited (and subsequently the
need to clean or rescale) largely depends on the water hardness
in your area and the frequency with which the kettle is used.
• Boiled scale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into
your beverage, it can give a powdery taste to your drink.
Therefore, the kettle should be descaled periodically as
indicated below.
DESCALING
