Troubleshooting

Kettle is not heating or turning on.

Ensure the power base is securely plugged into a working mains outlet. Check that the kettle is correctly seated on the 360-degree power base. Verify that there is enough water in the kettle, as boil dry protection might prevent it from operating if empty.

Kettle is boiling slowly or not reaching a full boil.

Limescale build-up can affect boiling efficiency. Regularly descale your kettle following the care instructions (vinegar or descaling solution). Ensure the water level is not excessively low, which can trigger safety features prematurely.

Water tastes strange or has particles.

This is often due to limescale build-up. Descale the kettle thoroughly. For first-time use, ensure you've boiled and discarded water at least twice to remove any manufacturing residues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle and its base from the packaging.
  2. Placement: Place the 360-degree power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface near a power outlet.
  3. First Use: Before initial use, fill the kettle to the maximum level with fresh cold water, boil it, and then discard the water. Repeat this process once or twice to ensure cleanliness.
  4. Plug In: Connect the power base to a suitable mains power outlet.

Compatibility

The Swan Jug Kettle is designed for use with standard domestic electrical outlets. Ensure your power supply matches the voltage specified on the product's rating label (usually on the underside of the base).

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they may damage the finish.
  • Cleaning the Interior/Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste.
  • Method 1 (Vinegar): Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Let it stand for an hour (or longer for heavy build-up), then boil the mixture. Empty and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
  • Method 2 (Citric Acid): Dissolve a descaling sachet (available in most supermarkets) in water according to product instructions, boil, and then rinse.
  • Cord Storage: Utilize the integrated cord storage under the base to keep your worktop neat and tidy when the kettle is not in use.
  • Safety: Always unplug the kettle from the mains before cleaning and ensure it is completely dry before reconnecting to power.
