Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste. The

regularly.

brush under a running tap, or.. (fig. 5).

◗ in the dishwasher.

Descaling the kettle

Regular descaling will prolong the life of the kettle.

In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), the following descaling frequency is

recommended:

- Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to 18 dH).

- Once every month for hard water areas (more than 18 dH).

1 Fill the kettle with water up to three-quarters of the maximum level and bring

the water to the boil.

2 After the kettle has switched off, add white vinegar (8% acetic acid) to the

maximum level.

3 Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.

4 Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly.

5 Fill the kettle with clean water and boil the water.

6 Empty the kettle and rinse it with clean water again.

Is it efficient to fill a kettle with hot water from the faucet? Verified

No. To get warm water to the faucet it is often needed to let cold water out first, which will be wasted. Also, the pipes will fill the same amount of hot water which will not be used and will cool, which leads to energy loss. Therefor it is better to fill a kettle with cold water.
