Troubleshooting
Kettle not boiling
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the base is plugged in. Check if the power outlet is working with another appliance. Inspect the power cord for damage.
Toaster not heating
Confirm the toaster is plugged into a functional outlet. Check if the browning control is set to a level above '1'. Ensure the power cord is not damaged.
Kettle switches off before boiling
This can be a safety feature if the kettle is not on its base correctly or if the water level is too low. Ensure it's properly seated and filled above the minimum line.
Uneven toasting
Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots. Try adjusting the browning setting. Clean out any crumbs from the toaster as they can interfere with heating elements.
