Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on the 360° base and that the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle shuts off before boiling
This could indicate the boil-dry sensor has activated. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. Allow the kettle to cool completely before refilling and re-boiling.
Water tastes unusual
Rinse the removable limescale filter thoroughly. If the issue persists after cleaning the filter and descaling the kettle, try boiling water multiple times with fresh water and discarding it.
