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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unpack the kettle body, base, and removable limescale filter.
  2. Wash the kettle body and filter with warm, soapy water before first use. Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Place the base on a stable, flat surface near a power outlet.
  4. Ensure the power cord is fully unwound from the base storage.
  5. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water, ensuring it is between the minimum and maximum fill lines.
  6. Place the kettle onto the 360° rotating base.
  7. Plug the base into a compatible AC power outlet (220-240V).

Compatibility:

  • Power Requirements: Requires a standard AC power outlet with a voltage of 220-240V and frequency of 50/60 Hz. The kettle has a power rating of 2400W and draws 10.9A.
  • Usage: Designed for boiling water only. Not suitable for other liquids.

Care:

  • Exterior: Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

  • Filter: The removable limescale filter should be washed regularly (e.g., weekly) to maintain performance and water taste. It is washable and can be cleaned under running water.
  • Base: Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before plugging it in.
