How to Clean Out a Braun Electric Tea Kettle

Clean your Braun electric tea kettle with a sponge.

Braun offers several kitchen appliances, including the electric tea kettle. This type of kettle heats itself using electricity instead of a stove. This eliminates the need of bringing a traditional teapot full of water to a boil on the stove, at which time you must monitor the teapot and turn off the burner. Instead, the electric tea kettle can be set to your desired temperature, and you can go on about your business until the water is ready. Cleaning the Braun tea kettle can be done with ease.

Things You'll Need

• Water
• Vinegar
• Nylon sponge

Instructions

1. Unplug the tea kettle from the wall outlet, and detach the plug from the kettle.

2. Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar into the kettle, and fill the kettle halfway with hot water.

3. Agitate the kettle so the vinegar mixture hits the sides of the kettle walls, and let the water sit for 20 minutes.

4. Discard the vinegar water, and scrub the interior of the kettle gently with a nylon sponge.

5. Rinse the kettle with hot water, and repeat as needed until all buildup is removed. Let the kettle air-dry before inserting the cord back into the kettle.
