Your kettle should be periodically descaled as the mineral deposits in
tap water may form scale on the bottom of kettle so as to cause it to
operate less eciently. You can use commercially available descaler
and follow the instructions on the package of descaler. Alternatively,
you may follow the below instructions using white vinegar.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar, then add enough water
to cover the bottom of kettle completely. Leave the solution in the
kettle overnight.
2. Discard the mixture in the kettle, then ll the kettle again with clean
water to the maximum position, boil and discard the water. Repeat
several times until the odor of vinegar has been ushed away. Any
stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a
damp cloth.
