Troubleshooting

Kettle not whistling when water boils

Ensure the lid is securely closed and the whistle is properly seated. If the kettle is overfilled, the whistle may not activate effectively. Check for mineral buildup that could obstruct the whistle mechanism.

Water taking too long to boil

Verify that the kettle's base is centered on the hob ring and that the hob setting is appropriate for its size. Ensure the hob type is compatible (all types are, but check for proper contact, especially with induction). Descale the kettle if mineral buildup is present, as this can reduce heating efficiency.

Water tastes metallic or off

This can occur after initial uses. Thoroughly wash the inside of the kettle. If the taste persists, try boiling and discarding a few batches of fresh water. Ensure you are using fresh, filtered water.
