Keep a safe distance while the water is boiling; steam can escape suddenly!
Pour slowly to avoid splashing.
Unplug the appliance after use for safety.
Following these simple steps will quickly become a habit… and your kettle will thank you.
Descaling: essential care for your kettle.
For clean water and fast heating, simply descale it every 1 to 3 months.
Practical tip: half-fill it with water and white vinegar (or lemon juice), heat it, let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.
Extra tip: Boil fresh water once to eliminate any lingering odors.
And of course, never submerge the electric base in water!
Should I leave it plugged in all the time?
Good news: most modern models can be left plugged in without any problems. But for maximum safety, especially at night or during a storm, it’s best to unplug it.
It costs nothing and guarantees complete peace of mind, especially if you have curious children or pets at home.
When is it time to say goodbye to your old kettle?
If it leaks, the switch trips, it smells strange, or the off button no longer works, there’s no point in procrastinating: it’s time to replace it. Newer models are usually more energy-efficient, quieter, and heat up faster.
