Mineral scale can build up depending on water hardness and use. Kettle materials and approved descalers vary, so brand-specific steps are not universal.

1. Switch off, unplug and cool the kettle. First check whether the specific model allows vinegar or a proprietary descaler.
2. For models covered by De'Longhi's general guidance, prepare one part white vinegar and two parts water without exceeding MAX.
3. Heat as the manufacturer describes and switch off just before boiling; allow the solution to stand as appropriate, avoiding scalds.
4. Once cool enough to handle safely, empty the solution without splashing it over the electrical base.
5. Fill with fresh water, boil and discard; repeat the fresh-water cycle as directed by the manufacturer.
6. Check for residual odor or scale and dry. Never immerse the kettle base or use an unapproved cleaning chemical.
