FAQs
How do I descale the kettle?
Fill the kettle with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water, bring it to a boil, let it stand for 20-30 minutes, then empty and rinse thoroughly. You can also use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
Is the filter removable for cleaning?
Yes, the filter is typically located under the spout and can be removed for rinsing and cleaning under running water.
What is the water tank capacity?
The water tank capacity of this Russell Hobbs Buckingham kettle is 1.7 litres.
How much power does the kettle use?
The kettle has a power rating of 2400 Watts.
Does it have an auto shut-off feature?
Yes, the kettle features an auto power-off function for safety.
Can I use it without a power cord connected to the kettle itself?
Yes, this is a cordless kettle. The cord connects to the base unit, and the kettle lifts off the base for pouring.
How often should I clean the exterior?
The exterior should be wiped down with a damp cloth as needed, especially if fingerprints or water spots appear. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not switch on
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its base, the base is plugged into a functioning power outlet, and the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling
Check if the auto-power off function has activated. If the issue persists, ensure the kettle is not being overfilled and that the boil-dry protection has not been triggered (allow to cool if it has).
Water is not boiling efficiently
Descale the kettle as limescale buildup can affect heating efficiency. Ensure the water level is between the minimum and maximum markers.
Leaking from the base
Ensure the kettle is not damaged and is properly seated on the base. Check the water level indicator and avoid overfilling.
