Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its 360° swivel base, and the base is plugged into a functional power outlet. Check that the power switch has been activated.
Water boiling is slow.
Check for significant mineral buildup inside the kettle. Descale the kettle according to the care instructions. Ensure the power outlet is providing adequate voltage.
Kettle shuts off before boiling.
This may indicate the dry-run protection has activated because the water level was too low. Ensure the kettle is filled with sufficient water. If the issue persists with adequate water, contact customer support.
Leaking from the spout.
Ensure the lid is properly closed. Check the spout for any blockages or damage. Pour slowly and steadily.
Display is not working.
Ensure the kettle is properly connected to the power base. Unplug the base, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
