Introduction
Lime‑scale buildup slows heating, dulls flavors, and shortens the life of your kettle. Regular descaling with simple eco‑friendly ingredients keeps the element efficient, reduces energy use, and preserves warranty compliance when done correctly. This guide walks you through an unplugged, no‑chemical routine that follows the safety advice shown in the video and reminds you to read your manufacturer’s manual before starting.
