Frequently Asked Questions

• • Is the interior stainless steel? The Ottimo cordless kettle features a concealed stainless steel element at the base, while the body is made of durable, BPA-free heat-resistant plastic.
• • How do I prevent limescale? Regularly descale the interior using a mixture of white vinegar and water or a commercial descaler to maintain the 2200W heating efficiency.

Quick Teatime Hack: The "Limescale-Free" Sparkle

• • To keep your Ottimo kettle boiling fast and looking clean, boil a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar once a month. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing; this prevents mineral buildup from slowing down the heating element and keeps your tea tasting fresh.
