What is the capacity of the Progress Neutrals Electric Kettle?
The kettle has a generous capacity of 1.7 liters.
How do I clean the limescale filter?
The limescale filter can be removed from the spout area and rinsed under running water. For tougher buildup, a soft brush can be used. Regular cleaning helps maintain water purity and kettle performance.
Is the 360° swivel base necessary for operation?

What does 'boil-dry protection' mean?
Boil-dry protection is a safety feature that automatically shuts off the kettle if it is accidentally switched on when empty of water. This prevents damage to the heating element.
Can I leave the kettle plugged in when not in use?
While the kettle can be left plugged in, it is recommended to unplug it from the wall socket when not in use for extended periods, as a general electrical safety practice.
What is the warranty period for this kettle?

Does this kettle match other Progress Neutrals Collection items?

Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the base is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power cord for any damage.
Kettle switches off before boiling
This may be due to the boil-dry protection feature. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If the issue persists, allow the kettle to cool down completely before refilling and attempting to boil again.
Water tastes unusual or has sediment
Clean the removable limescale filter and the interior of the kettle. Perform a descaling cycle if limescale buildup is suspected. Ensure the kettle is rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
Kettle is leaking
Check that the lid is closed properly and that the spout area is clear. Inspect the base and the kettle body for any visible cracks or damage.
Slow boiling time
Ensure the kettle is plugged into a correctly rated power outlet and that no other high-draw appliances are on the same circuit. Limescale buildup can also reduce heating efficiency; descale the kettle.
