- Spout Filter: Rinse under hot water while gently rubbing with a cloth or brush. Do not remove the filter.
- Descaling: If mineral deposits form, fill the kettle with white vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat to a boil. Repeat with fresh vinegar if necessary, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
