FAQs
How often should I descale the kettle?
It is recommended to descale the kettle every 4-6 weeks, or more frequently if you live in a hard water area or notice limescale buildup.
Can I put the kettle or its base in the dishwasher?
No, neither the kettle nor the base should be placed in a dishwasher. Clean them manually with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaning solutions for the interior.
What does the 'boil dry sensor' do?
The boil dry sensor prevents the kettle from overheating and turning on if it contains insufficient water, thus protecting the appliance and ensuring safety.
Is the kettle made of plastic or metal?
The product description does not specify the material, but retro-style kettles often feature a combination of metal and plastic elements. Refer to specific product packaging for exact material composition.
How do I remove the limescale filter?
The limescale filter is typically located inside the spout. Gently pull it out towards you for removal. Rinse it under cold water and replace it once clean.
What is the warranty period for this kettle?
Warranty details are typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please check the product packaging or Salter's official website for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its 360° base and that the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power switch on the kettle.
Kettle switches off before boiling
This could be due to the boil-dry sensor activating. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If it continues, let the kettle cool down completely and check for any obstructions.
Water tastes unusual or has sediment
Descale the kettle thoroughly as per the care instructions. Ensure the limescale filter is clean and properly inserted.
Kettle is leaking
Check that the lid is closed securely. Inspect the base and spout for any cracks or damage. Ensure the kettle is not overfilled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place the 360° swivel base on a flat, stable surface near a power outlet.
- Remove the kettle from its base.
- For the first use, fill the kettle to the maximum level (1.7L), boil, and discard the water. Repeat this process twice to clean the interior.
Compatibility:
- This is an electric kettle designed for standard household power outlets.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Interior: Descale regularly, especially in hard water areas. Use a commercial descaler or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Fill the kettle halfway with the solution, boil, let it sit for 15-20 minutes (or as per descaler instructions), then discard and rinse thoroughly.
- Limescale Filter: Remove the filter (located behind the spout) and rinse it under running water. For stubborn scale, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the filter is properly replaced before using the kettle.
