the DJ - Pour Over Electric Kettle

If your water boils before reaching the set temperature or overflows rapidly, refer to this chart for adjustment.

Please ensure that the water level in your kettle stays below the maximum fill line.

No, please DO NOT use your electric kettle on the stovetop! It is designed to be used ONLY with its electric base.

Placing the kettle on a stove or induction surface can result in damage and the melting of its components.

Cleaning Your Kettle Regularly:

1. Cool Down: Ensure the kettle is completely cool. Empty any leftover water.
2. Interior Cleaning: Clean the inside with soapy water, then rinse. Do not immerse the kettle in water.
3. Exterior Wiping: Use a damp cloth for the outside and base. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads.
4. Dishwasher Warning: The kettle and base should not be placed in a dishwasher as they contain electrical parts.

Descaling Your Kettle:

Limescale, resembling white or off-white stains, often forms at the bottom of the kettle. This is a normal buildup of minerals like calcium carbonate from water.

Signs of Limescale: Delayed temperature reading, over-boiling, inaccurate temperatures, and reduced heating efficiency indicate scale buildup.

Descaling Solutions: Use coffee / espresso machine descaler, vinegar, citric acid, or a commercial descaler like Urnex Dezcal.

Using Vinegar:

• Mix equal parts vinegar and water.
• Boil the mixture, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Using Citric Acid:

• Mix 500mL of water with 2 spoonfuls of citric acid.
• Boil, wait for 30 minutes, then rinse. Follow the product instructions.

Caution: Do not use steel wool or abrasive brushes. They can damage the kettle and worsen limescale issues. Use a sponge or soft brush instead.
