Limescale Build Up
- It is important to regularly descale your kettle to prevent lime scale from building up over time.

- Follow these steps to minimise limescale build-up in your kettle.
- Empty the kettle after each use; do not leave water in the kettle overnight.
- Use filtered water instead of tap water. Avoid using bottled water, as this is classed as hard water.
Descale Regularly
- Dualit recommends descaling regularly, at least once every 2 months.

FAQs
Q: What is the maximum capacity of the Classic Kettle?
Ans: Up to 1.7 litres of water can be stored in the kettle. To prevent boiling over, don’t go beyond the MAX level indicated within the kettle.
Q: Is it safe to boil less than a full kettle?
Ans: Indeed. The kettle can safely boil at least half a litre, or about two cups. To prevent harming the element, never use less than the bare minimum when operating the kettle.
Q: Does the kettle have a limescale filter?
Ans: Indeed, there is a washable and detachable anti-scale filter behind the spout. This contributes to better-tasting hot beverages and cleaner water.
