Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Check that the kettle is properly seated on its 360° swivel base and that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling.
This could be due to the boil-dry protection activating if the water level is too low. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If the issue persists with adequate water, the kettle may require servicing.
Water tastes unusual or has white particles.
This is likely due to limescale buildup. Clean the kettle's interior using the descaling method described in the Care section. Ensure the removable limescale filter is clean and properly installed.
Kettle is leaking.
Check that the lid is closed securely. Inspect the base and spout for any visible damage. If a leak is detected, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
- This is an electric kettle and requires a standard household electrical outlet. Ensure your outlet is compatible with the kettle's power requirements.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the black shimmer finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

Alternatively, use a commercial kettle descaler following the product's instructions.
- Filter: The removable limescale filter can be gently washed under running water. Ensure it is properly reinserted after cleaning.
