Troubleshooting
Kettle not whistling
Ensure the lid is securely closed and the whistle is clean and free of debris. Check that the water level is appropriate and not exceeding the maximum fill line.
Toaster not toasting evenly
Ensure bread slices are centered using the self-centering racks. Check for any obstructions in the toasting slots. Clean the crumb tray, as accumulated debris can affect performance.
Kettle handle is hot
The handle is designed to stay cool, but ensure you are not overheating the kettle or leaving it on high heat for extended periods. Always use the handle to lift the kettle off the heat.
Toaster ejects toast prematurely
Check the selected browning level; a lower setting may cause premature ejection. Ensure the toast is not stuck in the slots. Try cleaning the crumb tray.
Enamel finish becoming dull
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the enamel.
