Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack the kettle and its 360-degree power base from the packaging.
- Place the power base on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface near a power outlet.
- Before first use, fill the kettle to the maximum level with fresh cold water, boil, then discard the water. Repeat this process 2-3 times to clean the interior and remove any manufacturing residues.
Compatibility
The Salter Toronto 1.7L Kettle is part of the Salter Toronto range. This means it is designed to seamlessly coordinate with matching kitchen appliances such as toasters and microwaves, allowing you to create a cohesive and stylish kitchen aesthetic.
Care
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the matt black exterior and wood effect accents with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical sprays, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and decorative elements.
- Limescale Filter: The removable limescale filter should be rinsed under a tap regularly to remove any accumulated deposits. For stubborn build-up, soak it in a descaling solution designed for kettles.
- Descaling: Regular descaling (every 1-3 months depending on water hardness in your area) is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Use a commercial descaling solution suitable for kettles, carefully following the product's instructions. Alternatively, you can use a solution of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water), bring it to a boil, let it sit for an hour, then rinse the kettle thoroughly multiple times with fresh water to remove any vinegar smell or taste.
