descaling

●

When limescale builds up on the

heating element, buy a suitable

descaler and descale your kettle.

Limescale makes your kettle take

longer to boil and can make the

element burn out. After descaling,

boil with fresh water several times

and discard. Clean any descaler off

the kettle - it can damage the parts.
