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 activated.

Kettle switches off before boiling

This may indicate boil-dry protection has activated. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle before switching it on. Allow it to cool if it has boiled dry.

Slow boiling performance

Limescale buildup can reduce efficiency. Clean the removable filter and descale the interior of the kettle as per the care instructions.

Water leaking from the spout

Ensure the kettle is not overfilled beyond the maximum fill line. Check that the lid is properly closed.

Kettle makes excessive noise

While designed for quiet operation, some noise is normal. Excessive noise could indicate significant limescale buildup, which requires descaling.
