CLEANING
Before cleaning, ensure the base is unplugged and the kettle has
cooled completely. Empty any remaining water from the kettle.
CAUTION: Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
The could cause permanent damage to the kettle.
Do not place any parts of the kettle in a dishwasher.
Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge,
then dry. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads on any
part of the kettle as it may damage the finish.
Over time, the kettle may lose the ability to reach boiling temperature.
This may be due to scaling and mineral deposits which can build up
on the inside of the kettle depending on your use and the hardness
of water in your area. When this happens, use a scale/lime remover,
following the scale/lime remover manufacturer's directions.
STORAGE
Clean and dry all parts before storing. Store the kettle in its box or in a
clean, dry place.
Never wrap the power-supply cord around the kettle.
