Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove your Dualit Kettle from its packaging and place it on a stable, flat surface away from the edge of your countertop.
- Initial Clean: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth. Fill the kettle with fresh water up to the maximum level, boil it, then discard the water. Repeat this process once to ensure all manufacturing residues are removed.
- Position: Place the kettle securely on its power base, ensuring it is level.
Compatibility
This Dualit Kettle is designed for use with standard household electrical outlets (typically 220-240V, 50/60Hz). Always ensure your power supply matches the kettle's requirements as indicated on its base.
Care
- Exterior Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of your kettle with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints and splashes. *Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers* as these can damage the finish.
- Interior Cleaning & Descaling: Over time, limescale can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and the clarity of the illuminated water window. Descale your kettle every 1-3 months using a commercial kettle descaling solution following the product instructions, or a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., equal parts water and white vinegar, boil, then let stand for an hour before rinsing thoroughly several times). Always ensure the kettle is unplugged and cool before cleaning.
