How to clean an electric kettle?

Maintaining your electric kettle is very important to keep it clean & remove mineral deposits wich can harm the equipment .
Here is a good way how to clean your electric kettle :

  1. -make a mix of same quantity of water & white vinegar
  2. -fill the kettle to half
  3. -leave it till it boils
  4. -turn off the kettle and leave the mix in the kettle for  15  minutes
  5. -remove the power cord
  6. -throw the mix away and rinse very well
  7. -wipe the inside of the kettle with a cloth and leave it to dry
  8. -if  the vinegar smell persist you can boil water in the kettle several times
  9. -as an other alternative in case you don't want to use vinegar or you can't use it because  you found a warning in your kettle manual,you can use lemon

            Do not forget that minerals present in tap water will cause scale to build up inside your 
         electric kettle when water is heated. 

          So,cleaning your electric kettle from time to time is a good way to

  •           keep the inside of your electric kettle clean.
  •           Reducing the boiling time and save energy.                                                                                  
  •           Extend the lifetime of your electric kettle.                                                                                    
  •           Limit the risk of premature breakdown.

           Sometimes,the electric kettle comes with a descaling agent from the manufacturer to clean it.  
       But I prefer the natural way (white vinegar).                                                                                  

           In case you chosed to descale your electric kettle with a agent.i advise you to follow exactly
       the instructions on the package!
