Troubleshooting

Kettle not boiling

Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its power base, the power base is plugged in, and the wall socket is functioning. Check if the power switch on the kettle is in the 'on' position.

Toaster not toasting evenly

Ensure bread slices are centered within the wide slots. Clean the crumb tray as food debris can affect performance. Try a different browning setting.

Kettle switches off before boiling

Check if the water level is below the minimum fill line. Ensure the lid is closed properly. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault.

Toaster lever won't stay down

Ensure the toaster is plugged in, as the lever mechanism is often electric. Check for any obstructions in the slots or around the lever mechanism. If the toaster is powered and the lever still won't engage, there may be a fault.

Visible limescale inside kettle

Descale the kettle using a commercial descaler or a vinegar/water solution. Ensure the removable filter is cleaned regularly.
