CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
• Regularly remove the scale deposits from inside the kettle based on how frequently the kettle is
used. If the kettle is used 3 to 5 times per day, we recommend removing the scale deposits:
– once per month in areas with hard to very hard water;
– once every two to three months in areas with soft to medium soft water.
• To remove scale deposits it is possible to use:
– 8% ordinary white vinegar. Pour half a quart (½ Liter) of vinegar into the kettle and let it sit
for 2 hours without boiling.
Then empty the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, boil the water and discard it. Repeat this
process four to five times, and the kettle will be ready for use.
– citric acid. Boil half a quart (½ Liter) of water in the kettle, add 1oz (30 grams) of citric acid, and
let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Then empty the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, boil the water and discard it. Repeat this
process four to five times, and the kettle will be ready for use.
• To clean the exterior of the kettle, use a dry cloth or a cloth moistened with a weak solution of
neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the surface with a lightly
damp cloth and then wipe dry.
• To clean the power base A4, use only a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the kettle and the power base A4, never use abrasive cleaners, gasoline, solvents,
etc.
