Troubleshooting
Kettle is not boiling water or indicator light is off.
Ensure the kettle is securely placed on its power base and the base is plugged into a functional wall outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position. If it still doesn't work, try a different outlet to rule out an electrical issue. If recently boiled, the thermal cut-out may have activated; allow it to cool down.
Kettle is boiling slowly or scale buildup is visible.
Limescale buildup is likely. Descale the kettle immediately using a commercial descaling solution or a natural method like white vinegar and water. Follow the descaler's instructions carefully, then rinse the kettle thoroughly several times.
Toaster is not toasting or the lever won't stay down.
Verify that the toaster is plugged in and the wall outlet is working. If the lever won't stay down, it might be an overheating protection mechanism; allow the toaster to cool down for a few minutes. Ensure nothing is obstructing the bread carriage.
Toast is burning or too light.
Adjust the `variable browning control` setting. For toast that's too dark, lower the setting. For toast that's too light, increase the setting. Remember that different types of bread toast at different rates.
Crumbs accumulating under the toaster.
Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool. Slide out the `removable crumb trays` from the bottom of the toaster. Empty the crumbs and wipe the trays clean with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them and operating the toaster.

Setup
Upon unpacking, ensure all packaging materials are removed. Place both the kettle base and the toaster on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from edges and flammable materials.
- Kettle: Before first use, fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold water, boil, and discard the water. Repeat this process twice to clean any manufacturing residues.
- Toaster: Plug the toaster into a standard electrical outlet. For the first use, operate the toaster empty on a medium setting a couple of times to burn off any manufacturing odors. This may produce a slight smell, which is normal.
Compatibility
The Haden Jersey set is designed for standard household electrical outlets (voltage `Info needed: specific voltage/Hz`). Its compact footprint makes it suitable for most kitchen countertops, though the 4-slice toaster may require more space than a 2-slice model.
Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your appliances.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of both the kettle and toaster with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild household cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Kettle Descaling: Depending on your water hardness, descaling the kettle regularly (e.g., every 1-3 months) is crucial to prevent limescale buildup, which can affect performance and taste. Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for kettles, following the product instructions, or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Rinse thoroughly several times after descaling. The `spare filter` should also be cleaned or replaced periodically.
- Toaster Crumb Trays: Always ensure the toaster is unplugged and cool before cleaning. Slide out the `removable crumb trays` from the bottom, empty crumbs, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before reinserting. Never operate the toaster without the crumb trays in place.
- General Safety: Always unplug appliances when not in use or before cleaning. Do not immerse the kettle or toaster base in water or any other liquid. Keep away from children.
