FAQs
Can I boil less than the 1.7L maximum capacity?
Yes, but ensure the water level is at least above the minimum mark to prevent triggering the boil-dry protection.
Does the handle get hot?
The handle is designed to remain cool to the touch, though the glass body itself will get very hot during boiling.
How do I activate the keep-warm function?
Select your desired temperature on the LCD base and press the keep-warm button; the kettle will maintain that temperature for up to two hours.
Is the tea infuser dishwasher safe?
While the infuser is stainless steel, we recommend hand washing to ensure all loose leaves are removed and to maintain the mesh integrity.
What is a Strix controller?
Strix is a leading brand of safety controls for kettles, known for precision, durability, and reliable automatic shut-off functionality.
Troubleshooting
Kettle turns off before reaching the selected temperature
This may be caused by limescale buildup on the sensor; perform a deep descaling cycle.
LCD base is not responding
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on the power base and that the electrical outlet is active.
Water has an unusual taste
Ensure you are using fresh, filtered water and clean the stainless steel base and infuser to remove any residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kettle, place the base on a stable, dry, and flat surface away from wall edges to prevent accidental tipping. Plug the unit into a standard 220-240V outlet. Before the first use, fill to the maximum capacity line, boil, and discard the water to ensure the system is clean.
Care Instructions:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the exterior glass and stainless steel base with a soft, damp cloth.
- Descaling: Depending on your water hardness, use a mixture of white vinegar and water or a commercial descaling solution once a month to prevent mineral buildup.
- Tea Infuser: Remove the infuser after each use, rinse thoroughly under running water, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
