• Remove the limescale in the kettle regularly. It is formed mainly on the

heating element, and prevents heating. The limescale formation rate

depends on the degree of water hardness and frequency of the use.

times, as described in the instructions attached to the agent. Then pour

the solution and rinse kettle.

• Also the limescale can be removed with the vinegar. To do this, ll the

kettle to the maximum point with the solution in the following proportions:

1 part of vinegar and 2 parts of water. Turn on the kettle and wait until

it turns off automatically. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight. The

next morning pour the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean

water up to the maximum point and boil it. Pour the boiled water from the

kettle to remove the remains of the solution. Rinse the kettle with water.
