Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Haden Dorchester is straightforward: simply place the 360-degree base on a flat, dry, and stable surface away from water splashes. Connect the plug to a standard wall socket. Before your first use, it is recommended to boil a full kettle of water and discard it to ensure the interior is clean.
To maintain the kettle, remove the filter periodically and rinse it under cold water to clear out any mineral buildup. To descale, use a mild vinegar solution or a commercial descaler following the manufacturer's specific instructions. Always keep the base dry and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to preserve the beige finish.
