CARE AND CLEANINGUSING THE WATER KETTLE
Cleaning the Water Kettle and base
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, always
disconnect the Water Kettle from electrical
outlet and make sure that the Water Kettle
has cooled completely.
Calcium deposits may form on the interior
metal parts of the Water Kettle. To get the
best performance from your Water Kettle,
clean periodically. The cleaning interval
will depend on the hardness of the water
you put into the Water Kettle. The use of
a commercial descaler is recommended.
