Brought a new kettle Friday. It's been use on several occasions (at least ten) but it has the taste of chloride. Any ideas how to stop this?
Or should we take it back.
Ps the water tastes fine before in goes into the kettle.

I boil mine with a hint of vinegr when i want to get rid of liescale in itThen boil it a few times with fesh water each time and its just fine.

Try that!

maybe it tastes funny because its new?
we got a new hot drinks machine at work (klix machine) and it tasted rotten for the first few months. just because of all the new plastic parts in it.

We had a new kettle a few months ago - the instructions said to boil 2 or 3 kettle-fulls before use.

Before putting the kettle on to boil, empty out any old water and refill with fresh water every time. Don't re-boil water because the air has been boiled out of it, leaving the water flat.

Works for me.......
