FAQs
How often should I descale the kettle?
It is recommended to descale the kettle monthly, or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water. This helps maintain performance and prevent mineral buildup.
What is the purpose of the anti-lime scale filter?
The anti-lime scale filter is located in the spout and prevents limescale particles from entering your drink, ensuring purer water and better-tasting beverages.
Can I put the glass kettle in the dishwasher?
No, the glass kettle and its power base should not be immersed in water or placed in a dishwasher. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and descale the interior as per the care instructions.
What does the boil-dry sensor do?
The boil-dry sensor automatically switches off the kettle if it detects that there is no water inside, preventing the element from overheating and potential damage.
Is the 360° swivel base detachable?
The power base is designed to remain stationary, while the kettle itself can be rotated 360° on the base for easy lifting and placement by users of any handedness.
How do I clean the blue LED lights?
The blue LED lights are integrated into the kettle's design and do not require separate cleaning. They are illuminated internally when the kettle is boiling. Wipe the exterior glass as instructed.
What is the weight of the kettle?
The kettle weighs approximately 2.6 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and that the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling
This could be due to the boil-dry sensor activating. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If the water level is adequate, allow the kettle to cool down completely before attempting to boil again.
Water tastes unusual or has debris
Clean the anti-lime scale filter and descale the kettle interior. Boil water with a descaling solution or a vinegar-water mixture, then rinse thoroughly. Always use fresh water for boiling.
LED lights do not illuminate
Check the power connection to the base. If the kettle is heating but lights are not on, there may be an issue with the LED system. Contact customer support if the problem persists.
Visible limescale buildup
Perform a descaling cycle as described in the 'Care' section. Regular descaling (e.g., monthly, or more often in hard water areas) is recommended to prevent heavy buildup.
