FAQs
How do I clean the coloured LED lights?
The LED lights are integrated within the kettle's design and do not require separate cleaning. Clean the exterior glass with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners near the light elements.
What is the minimum amount of water I can boil?
The kettle has a minimum fill line indicated on the transparent body, typically around 0.5L. Always ensure the water level is above this minimum marker before boiling.
Is the glass body safe for high temperatures?
Yes, the glass body is designed to withstand boiling temperatures. However, always handle the kettle with care, especially when full of hot water.
How often should I clean the limescale filter?
It is recommended to clean the limescale filter at least once a month, or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water. Regular cleaning helps maintain water quality and kettle performance.
Can I leave the kettle on the base when not in use?
The 360º swivel base is designed for convenience. While you can store the kettle on the base, ensure it is unplugged from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods to conserve energy and for safety.
What does the colour change from blue to red signify?
The blue light typically indicates the kettle is on and starting to heat. As the water temperature rises, the light changes to red, signifying that the water is approaching boiling point.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its 360º base, the base is plugged into a working electrical outlet, and the power switch on the kettle or base is activated.
Kettle is boiling but not automatically shutting off.
Check if the lid is fully closed. If the issue persists, there may be a fault with the automatic shut-off mechanism. Contact customer support.
Water tastes unusual or has white flakes.
Descale the kettle following the care instructions. Ensure the removable limescale filter is clean and properly inserted. Boil fresh water before use.
LED lights are not changing colour.
Verify the kettle is plugged in and the heating element is functioning. If the water is heating but the lights are not changing, there might be an issue with the LED system. Contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the kettle from its packaging and wash the interior with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Place the 360º swivel base on a flat, stable surface near a power outlet.
- Fill the kettle with water to the desired level, ensuring it is between the minimum and maximum markers. Do not overfill.
- Place the kettle securely onto the swivel base.
- Plug the base into a power outlet.
Compatibility:
This kettle is designed for use with standard household electrical outlets. It operates on AC power.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the glass exterior and base with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass or plastic.
- Interior: Descale regularly (e.g., monthly, or more often in hard water areas) to maintain performance and water quality. To descale, fill the kettle with a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and water, or use a commercial descaling product. Boil the solution, let it stand for 15-30 minutes, then discard and rinse the kettle thoroughly. Ensure the removable limescale filter is cleaned during this process.
- Limescale Filter: Remove the filter located behind the spout and rinse it under running water. For heavier buildup, use a soft brush.
- Storage: Ensure the kettle is cool and empty before storing.
