FAQs
How do I clean the limescale filter?
Remove the filter and rinse it under running water. You can also soak it in a descaling solution for tougher buildup.
What kind of water should I use in the kettle?
You can use tap water. However, if you live in a hard water area, consider using filtered water to reduce limescale buildup.
Can I boil the kettle dry?
No, the kettle has an automatic shut-off feature to prevent it from boiling dry. However, always ensure there is enough water before turning it on.
How often should I descale the kettle?
Descale the kettle every 1-3 months, depending on the water hardness in your area. More frequent descaling may be needed in hard water areas.
Is the kettle's exterior hot when boiling?
The exterior of the kettle may become warm, but it should not be excessively hot to the touch. Always handle with care.

Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is properly plugged into the outlet and that the outlet is functioning. Check the power switch on the kettle.
Kettle takes a long time to boil.
Check the water level; ensure it's not below the minimum fill line or over the maximum. Descale the kettle as mineral build-up can affect performance.
Kettle is leaking.
Ensure the lid is properly closed. Check for any cracks or damage to the kettle body. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
