Descaling
Themajorcauseofdamagetokettlesislimescaleandyourkettlewillrequire
regularmaintenancetoensurethatitcontinuestoworkproperly.Limescale
depositsbuildupovertime,blockingimportantpartsofthekettleandstoppingit
fromworkingproperly.

Remember:
Descaleeveryfewmonths
Don’twaitforlimescaletobuildupbeforeyoudescale
Youcanbuydescalerfromusatwww.argosspares.co.ukorinmanyhigh
streetshops
Cleanthelimescalefilterifyourkettlehasone

Typesofproblemscausedbylimescalebuild‐up:
Colour–Limescalewilldiscolouryourkettle.
Performance–yourkettlewilltakelongertoboil(wastingelectricity)and
eventuallywillswitchoffbeforeithasboiled.
Taste–limescalecangivethewaterachalkytasteandlimescaleflakes
willgiveagrittytexture.
WARNING: Donotopenthelidwhensteamiscomingoutofthe
spout.Kettleisonlytobeusedwiththestandprovided.
