CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and
allow to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse
the base area or cord in water, or allow moisture to contact
with these parts.

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to
discolor. To remove this build-up, use Liquid De-scaler, a simple
to use, non-toxic cleaner.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the
remainder with water and be allowed to stand overnight.
DO NOT BOIL!

NOTE:
Lime Scale forms over
time when water is
heated. Though scale
is natural and
harmless, it may
produce a powdery
substance or
mineral-like chunks
that can get into your
hot beverages and
affect the taste. While
the concealed heating
element in this kettle
is designed to help
reduce scale buildup,
the lter helps prevent
particles from pouring
into your beverage.
