If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following: - problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling. - the kettle may take longer to boil. - the flat element may become damaged. Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your warranty. - When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts. - Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regular cleaning. - Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle. 5
