Decalcification
Decalcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discolouration.
To get the best performance from your Cuisinart® PerfecTemp Cordless Programmable Kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use your kettle.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package.
If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1cm. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
