To descale the kettle, fill it with equal parts water and white vinegar. Boil the mixture and let it sit for about an hour. Afterward, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. Boil fresh water once or twice to remove any lingering vinegar taste.
First, check if the kettle is properly connected to the power outlet and if the outlet is functioning. Ensure that the kettle is seated correctly on its base. If the problem persists, inspect the power cord for damages or contact Morphy Richards customer service for further assistance.
To clean the exterior, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool down. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may scratch the surface.
Ensure the kettle is clean and dry before storing. Coil the cord around the base to prevent damage. Store the kettle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Loud noises during boiling can be caused by limescale buildup. Descale the kettle regularly to minimize noise. If the problem continues, ensure the kettle is on a stable surface and not vibrating against other objects.
Use filtered or distilled water to reduce mineral deposits. Regularly descale the kettle using a vinegar solution to prevent limescale buildup.
Inspect the lid and the seal for any obstructions or damage. Clean any debris that might be obstructing the closure. If the problem persists, contact Morphy Richards customer service for advice or repair options.
It is not recommended to boil any liquids other than water as it might damage the kettle or affect its performance. Boiling other liquids can also void the warranty.
Signs that the kettle needs descaling include longer boiling times, unusual noises, and visible limescale deposits inside the kettle. Regular descaling every few months is advisable depending on water hardness.
While it is generally safe, leaving water in the kettle for extended periods can lead to limescale buildup. It is advisable to empty and dry the kettle after each use to maintain its condition.
