Removing limescale deposits
Limescale deposits inside the kettle may negatively affect its lifetime , so it is important
to regularly remove them based on ho w frequently the kettle is used. During standard

– once every two to three months in ar eas with soft and medium hard water .
T o remove limescale deposits it is possible to use:
– 8% white vinegar , generally available in stores . Fill the kettle with 1 litre of water
and¼ litre of vinegar . Bring the solution to aboil and leave it to act in the kettle for
2 hours. Then empty the kettle and before further use, boil clean water in it four to
five times.
– citric acid. Boil 1 l of water in the kettle, then add 30g of citric acid into the boiled
water , and allow the solution to act for about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and
