Understanding Hard Water

Hard water is defined as water that contains mineral ions, primarily calcium and magnesium, often found in the form of carbonates. While these minerals do not pose any health risks, they can react in ways that result in insoluble deposits within appliances.

Steps to Descale and Clean Your Kettle

To effectively descale your kettle, follow these simple steps:

1. Begin by filling the kettle with a mixture of 1 cup of vinegar or lemon juice combined with 2 cups of water.
2. Boil this solution and then let it sit for 2 hours. Afterward, use a cloth to clean and wipe the interior surfaces.
3. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with clean water, and dry it with a soft, clean cloth to prevent streaks.
4. Repeat the descaling process as necessary, based on the hardness of your water.

Important Notes:

• It is quite common to observe spots or rust on the stainless steel base of your kettle after the initial use, particularly if you reside in an area with hard water.
• If you select a preset that includes the Keep Warm Mode and lift the kettle during the heating process, the model CO117-DK will continue to heat as long as it is returned to its base within one minute.
