DECALCIFYINGWhen mineral scale builds up in your kettle, it can effect tempertaure consistency and slow down the boiling time. To ensure optimum performance- Gourmia recommends descaling the kettle when there is visible mineral build up inside the kettle. Note: Vinegar may not effectively descale the kettle and can be difficult to rinse thoroughly. Vinegar also leaves behind an odor that could affect future uses.
Gourmia recommends using Full Circle Descaler. How to use Full Circle Descaler: 1. Mix 1 bottle or 1 packet with32 oz of lukewarm water.2. Pour into the kettle.3. Bring solution to a boil.4. Let cool for 15 minutes,then discard solution.5. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
