Troubleshooting
Kettle not turning on
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its 360-degree base and that the base is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power cord for damage.
Toaster not toasting evenly
Ensure the bread is centered using the self-centering function. Try different bread types, as density can affect toasting. Clean out any crumbs from the crumb tray and interior slots.
Kettle boiling slowly
The heating element may have a buildup of limescale. Descale the kettle according to the care instructions. Ensure the kettle is not overfilled beyond the maximum line.
Toaster has an unusual smell during use
This can occur during the first few uses or if crumbs have accumulated. Ensure the crumb tray is clean. Run the toaster empty on a medium setting once to burn off any residue. If the smell persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Water leaking from the kettle
Check that the lid is properly closed and that the water level is not above the maximum fill line. Ensure the kettle is not damaged. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
