To clean the Hamilton Beach 40850 Electric Tea Kettle, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool.
2. Rinse the non-removable mesh filter under running water and brush it with a soft brush, such as an old, clean toothbrush.
3. To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from the inside bottom of the kettle, you have two options:
a. Option 1: Pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1/4 cup (59 mL) of water into the kettle and let it stand for 10 minutes. Then, rinse the kettle several times with clean tap water.
b. Option 2: Place 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of cream of tartar (available in the spice aisle of a grocery store) into the kettle. Fill the kettle halfway with water. Plug it into an outlet, press the power switch down, and bring it to a boil. Lift the power switch up to turn it off. Unplug the kettle and let it cool. Rinse the kettle several times with clean tap water.
4. After cleaning, wash the kettle with soap and water, then rinse and dry it.
Please note that you should not immerse the kettle, power base, or plug in water or any other liquid. Also, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or powders, as they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
