Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on
Ensure the kettle is correctly placed on its base, the base is plugged into a working power outlet, and the power switch is activated.
Water not heating to the selected temperature
Check if the correct temperature setting is selected. If the issue persists, the limescale filter may need cleaning or replacement, or the kettle may require descaling.
Kettle shuts off prematurely
This may be due to the boil-dry protection activating if the water level is too low. Ensure the kettle is filled above the minimum line. It could also be a sign of excessive limescale buildup, requiring descaling.
Unusual noise during boiling
Some noise is normal, especially as the water approaches boiling point. However, excessively loud or grinding noises might indicate a problem with the heating element or significant limescale buildup. Ensure the kettle is clean and descaled.
Water leaks from the spout
Ensure the kettle is not overfilled past the maximum line and that the lid is properly closed. Check the non-drip spout for any damage.
