Product Information
Full details
The NRS Healthcare Uccello Kettle is an ideal solution for individuals with limited mobility, arthritis, or reduced grip strength who require a safer, more manageable way to boil and pour water. Its standout feature is the unique PowerPour technology, which utilizes an integrated tipper base to eliminate the need to lift and balance a heavy, boiling vessel. While this specialized design provides excellent stability and safety, it occupies more counter space than a standard traditional kettle, which may be a consideration for those with very compact kitchen setups.

Is the base dishwasher safe?

Does it include an anti-scale filter?

Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Verify that the kettle is properly seated in the cradle base and that the base is securely plugged into a functional power outlet.
Kettle turns off before water boils.
This may be caused by a build-up of limescale on the heating element; descale the unit to restore performance.
Water leaking from the spout.
Ensure the lid is fully closed and the anti-scale filter is correctly positioned; avoid overfilling past the 'MAX' indicator.
