Descaling and Cleaning If you live in a `hard water' area, scale may form on the inside of your kettle. This could cause the kettle to malfunction and may damage the element invalidating the warranty. It is essential that regular descaling takes place as follows: Remove hard scale using either a proprietary descaling product suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions carefully), or citric and crystals. We recommend using citric acid crystals as follows: Boil 1 litre of water, then unplug the kettle (remove the cordless kettle from the base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add 50g of citric and crystals to the water gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. Do not use a more concentrated solution. As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid, which may damage the finish. Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle. Failure to descale may invalidate the guarantee. [. . . ] If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
