Cleaning and Maintenance
Unplug your unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with
warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the kettle and base of unit with a soft,
damp cloth. Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry during all cleaning.
Spout Filter – This kettle has a filter to keep the water clean. Run filter under hot
water and gently rub with a clean cloth or brush.
Dry all parts after every use.
Never immerse kettle or power base in water. Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
DE-CALCIFICATION
De-calcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior
of the kettle and may result in discoloration.
To get the best performance from your unit, decalcify your unit from time to time.
Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use
the unit.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale.
Follow the directions on the descaler package.
If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar
to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with
cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is
complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
Note: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain
appearance on the stainless steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is
caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated
at high temperatures. After a few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may
begin to turn a bronze color. 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 color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white
vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. This will remove the staining
and/or any mineral deposits that may build up in your kettle. After boiling,
allow to cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.
