-
Descale regularly, especially if your water supply is hard, to avoid mineral buildup on heating elements and maintain efficiency.

Wipe exterior stainless‑steel surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner; dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or corrosion.
-
Unplug and allow unit to cool before cleaning to protect internal heating and electrical components.
