Troubleshooting
Kettle won't turn on or boil water.
Ensure the kettle is securely placed on its power base. Check that the power cord is firmly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Confirm the `ON/OFF` switch is engaged. If connected to an extension lead, ensure the extension lead is also powered on.
Kettle switches off before boiling or boils slowly.
This often indicates a build-up of limescale. Descale the kettle regularly as per the 'Care' instructions. Ensure the kettle is filled above the minimum fill line but not exceeding the maximum.
Water tastes unusual after boiling.
For first-time use, boil and discard water 2-3 times. If the issue persists, ensure thorough rinsing after descaling. Chemical residues from descaling solutions can affect taste if not fully removed.
Kettle leaks water.
Check the lid is properly closed and sealed. Ensure you are not overfilling the kettle past the maximum fill line, as boiling water can escape through the spout. Inspect for any visible damage to the body or spout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Placement: Place the 360-degree power base on a stable, flat, dry surface near a standard electrical outlet.

- Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet.
Compatibility
- Power Requirements: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets (e.g., 220-240V, 50/60Hz, 3kW). Always check your local power supply specifications.
- Kitchen Aesthetics: Designed to complement kitchens with a classic, retro, or traditional interior design theme.
Care
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Interior Cleaning: For general cleaning, rinse the inside with clean water. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used.
- Descaling: Regular descaling is crucial, especially in hard water areas, to maintain efficiency and prolong the kettle's life. Use a commercially available descaling solution suitable for kettles, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water), boiled, left to soak, then rinsed thoroughly multiple times to remove any vinegar smell. > Info needed: Specific descaling frequency recommendations depend on local water hardness, typically monthly or bi-monthly.
