Cleaning the kettle
■ Regularly remove water scale deposits from inside the kettle based on how frequently the kettle is used. During
standard use of the kettle (3 to 5 times per day), we recommend to remove water scale deposits:

– 8% white vinegar, generally available in stores. Put ½ l of vinegar into the kettle and allow it to settle for 2 hours
without boiling. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to fivetimes.
– citricacid. Boil ½ l of water in the kettle, into the boiled water add 30 g of citric acid and allow it to settle for about
30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water in it four to five times.
■ To clean the exterior of the kettle use adry cloth or acloth dipped in aweak solution of neutral kitchen detergent.
After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the surface with alightly damp cloth and then wipe dry.
