Troubleshooting

Kettle does not switch on.

Ensure the kettle is correctly placed on its base and the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power supply to the outlet.

Toaster not toasting evenly.

Ensure the bread slices are centred using the self-centring function. Check that the browning level is set appropriately and that the slots are clean from any debris.

Kettle switches off before boiling.

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

Toast is too light or too dark.

Adjust the browning control dial to your preferred setting. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for your type of bread.

Toaster has smoke coming from slots.

This could be due to crumbs in the crumb tray or burnt residue on the heating elements. Empty the crumb tray and carefully clean any visible residue (ensure the toaster is unplugged and cool).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Both the kettle and toaster require minimal setup. Ensure they are placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from the edge. Plug them into a suitable wall socket. For the kettle, fill it to the desired level using the water level window and boil before first use. For the toaster, plug it in and ensure the crumb tray is in place.

Compatibility: The kettle operates on standard household electrical power. The toaster is designed for standard sliced bread, bagels, and crumpets, with variable width slots accommodating thicker items. Always ensure your electrical supply is compatible with the appliance's power requirements.

Care:

  • Kettle: Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. The limescale filter should be removed regularly and washed under warm water. Descale the kettle periodically according to manufacturer instructions to maintain performance.
  • Toaster: Unplug and allow to cool. Remove and empty the crumb tray regularly to prevent build-up. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the toaster in water or use sharp objects to clean inside the slots.
