How do I properly clean my Elite Gourmet EKT8690 Electric Tea Kettle?

[AshlynLee]

Keeping your Elite Gourmet EKT8690 Electric Tea Kettle clean is essential for its performance and lifespan. Here's a simple cleaning guide: First, wipe down the kettle's exterior with a clean, damp cloth. For the interior, hand wash it using a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Always empty and rinse the kettle after each use to prevent residue buildup. To remove mineral deposits, periodically descale the kettle. You can use a descaling solution or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Fill the kettle halfway with the solution, boil it, and let it sit for about 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Regularly check the power cord for any damage. Store the kettle in a cool, dry place when not in use. Tighten any loose screws or components and regularly clean the spout and filter for optimal performance. Lubricate moving parts, such as the lever, if necessary.
