Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the base is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling.
This may indicate the 'boil dry protection' has activated because the kettle is empty or has very little water. Refill the kettle and try again. Ensure the lid is properly closed during boiling.
Water tastes unusual or has scale particles.
Clean the removable anti-scale filter. If the issue persists, the interior of the kettle may need descaling. Follow the care instructions for descaling the interior.
Water is not pouring smoothly.
Check that the spout is not obstructed. Ensure the lid is fully open during pouring. Rinse the anti-scale filter if it appears clogged.
