Can I use the kettle on a different base?

Troubleshooting
Kettle switches off before the water boils.
This is likely due to limescale buildup on the heating element. Perform a descaling cycle using white vinegar or a commercial descaler.
The kettle will not turn on.
Check that the base is correctly plugged into a wall outlet and the kettle is firmly seated on the 360-degree connection point.
Water leaking from the base.
Ensure you are not overfilling past the 'Max' mark, which can cause water to escape during the boiling process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kettle, place the base on a stable, flat surface away from wall edges. Before first use, fill the kettle to the 'Max' mark, boil it, and discard the water to remove any manufacturing residue. For daily care, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and ensure the base remains dry. To clean the spout filter, gently unclip it and rinse under warm water; do not use harsh abrasives. If you live in a hard-water area, descale the kettle monthly using a mild citric acid or vinegar solution to ensure the heating element remains efficient.
