FAQs
What is the capacity of the Laura Ashley Wild Meadow Kettle?
The kettle has a generous capacity of 1.7 litres, which can serve up to seven cups of water.
How do I clean the decorative exterior without damaging it?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For tougher marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth.
Does the kettle have an automatic shut-off feature?
Yes, it features a boil-dry protection system that automatically shuts down the power if no water is detected, and it also has overheat protection.
How can I descale the inside of the kettle?
You can use a commercial descaler or a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Fill the kettle, boil, let it sit for an hour, then discard and rinse thoroughly.
What is the purpose of the external temperature gauge?
The external round temperature gauge allows you to monitor the water temperature, enabling you to heat water to the optimal level for different beverages like tea or coffee.
Is the heating element visible?
No, the kettle features a concealed heating element for easier cleaning and safety.
What does 'hand decorated' mean for the kettle's finish?
It means that the unique Laura Ashley Wild Meadow print is applied to each kettle by hand, making every piece slightly individual, and then finished with a protective gloss UV coating.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its power base and the power base is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the on/off switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling.
This could be due to the boil-dry protection feature. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If the kettle has boiled dry, allow it to cool completely before refilling and restarting.
Water is not boiling efficiently.
The heating element may be covered in limescale. Descale the interior of the kettle following the care instructions.
Exterior finish appears dull or scratched.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a very mild, non-abrasive polish designed for gloss surfaces might be cautiously tested, but always follow with a damp cloth wipe-down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the kettle and remove all packaging materials.
- Before first use, fill the kettle to the maximum line (1.7L) with fresh water, boil it, and then discard the water. Repeat this process twice to ensure the interior is clean.
- Place the kettle on its power base.
Compatibility:
- This is an electric kettle and requires a standard household power outlet.
- Ensure the power base is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the decorative exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the hand-decorated finish and UV coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a damp cloth.
- Interior: Descale the kettle regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on water hardness) to maintain performance and prevent build-up. You can use a commercial descaler or a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Fill the kettle with the solution, boil, let it sit for an hour, then discard and rinse thoroughly. Always rinse the interior with fresh water after descaling.
- Lid and Spout: Ensure these areas are clean to prevent any obstruction to steam release.
