Troubleshooting

Kettle won't turn on or boil.

Ensure the kettle is properly placed on its base and the power cord is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Check if the ON/OFF switch is fully depressed. If still not working, try a different electrical socket.

Water isn't boiling quickly.

Check if there's excessive limescale buildup inside the kettle, which can reduce heating efficiency. Descale the kettle as per the care instructions. Also, ensure you are not overfilling the kettle beyond the MAX line.

Kettle turns off before boiling or boils for too long.

This could be due to limescale affecting the thermostat. Descale the kettle thoroughly. Ensure the lid is securely closed, as a loose lid can prevent the automatic cut-off from functioning correctly.

Water tastes strange or has particles.

Perform the initial cleaning process (boil and discard water 2-3 times) if it's new. If it's been in use, this is likely due to limescale. Descale the kettle and clean the filter thoroughly. Ensure you are using fresh, clean water.

Lid is difficult to open or close.

Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the lid mechanism. If the lid has a push-button release, ensure it's functioning correctly. Avoid forcing the lid.
