Steps:
- Unplug the kettle from the power outlet.
- Lift the kettle off its electrical base and set the base aside.
- Allow the appliance to cool completely before handling hot parts or water.
- Pour roughly one liter of clean water into the kettle.
- Add a few spoonfuls of citric acid to the water.
- White vinegar can be used instead of citric acid if preferred.
- Return the kettle to its base and bring the mixture to a full boil.
- When the kettle switches off, leave the hot solution inside to sit for a short time.
- Carefully pour the used solution down the drain while avoiding splashes.
- Rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water to remove all acid residue.
- Keep all electrical sections dry during rinsing and pouring.
- If liquid reaches the base or contacts, remove the base and let components dry for 24 h before reuse.
- After everything is dry, reattach the base and resume normal use.
- Always consult the manufacturer’s instructions to confirm the process suits your model.
- Be aware that maintenance may affect warranty rights.
- Contact an authorised service centre if unsure or if faults persist.
