FAQs
How do I descale the kettle?
Fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it soak for an hour or boil briefly and let soak, then discard and rinse thoroughly. Commercial descalers can also be used following their instructions.
Can I put milk or other liquids in the kettle?
No, this kettle is designed for boiling water only. Adding other liquids can damage the appliance and void the warranty.
How often should I clean the kettle?
The exterior should be wiped down after use or as needed. Descaling is recommended every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness and frequency of use.
What does the blue light signify?
The blue LED light illuminates when the kettle is in operation, indicating that it is heating the water. It is purely an aesthetic feature.
What safety features does this kettle have?
It includes automatic shut-off, which turns the kettle off once boiling is complete, and boil-dry protection, which prevents operation if the water level is too low.
Is the kettle energy efficient?
The 2200W power ensures rapid boiling, which can be more energy-efficient than slower heating methods. Automatic shut-off also prevents energy wastage.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not switch on.
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its base and the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Kettle switches off before boiling.
This could be due to the boil-dry protection activating if the water level is too low. Ensure there is sufficient water. If the issue persists, there might be an internal fault.
Water is not pouring cleanly / it is spilling.
Ensure the lid is fully closed before pouring. Check that the perfect pour spout is not obstructed. Do not overfill past the MAX line.
Visible scale inside the kettle.
Descale the kettle using the recommended method (see Care section). Regular descaling prevents scale buildup.
