Cleaning And Maintenance - Chefman RJ11-17-TI Manual

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with
warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the kettle and its base with a soft, damp cloth.
Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry during all cleaning.
Spout Filter – This kettle has a filter to keep the water clean. Run filter under hot water
and gently rub with a clean cloth or brush.
Dry all parts after every use.
Never immerse kettle or power base in water.
DE-CALCIFICATION
De-calcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of
the kettle and may result in discoloration.
To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time.
Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the
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 ½ inch. 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.
NOTE: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain appearance
on the stainless steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is caused by tea residue
that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a
few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color. To avoid
tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice and always rinse the inside of
your kettle before each brew.
To remove the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white
vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. This will remove the staining and/or
any mineral deposits that may build up in your kettle. After boiling, allow to cool and
thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.
