Troubleshooting
Kettle fails to boil water
Ensure the kettle is securely placed on the base and check that the power cord is properly plugged into an active wall socket.
Water pouring creates a mess
Ensure you are not overfilling the kettle past the 1.7L mark and pour at a steady, controlled pace to utilize the spout's anti-spill design.
Limescale buildup inside
Remove the limescale filter to clean it under a tap and use a proprietary descaling solution inside the jug to clear mineral deposits from the element.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the kettle is straightforward: place the 360-degree base on a flat, dry surface and plug it into a standard wall outlet. Before the first use, fill the kettle to the maximum mark, boil the water, and discard it to ensure the interior is clean. To maintain performance, regularly remove the limescale filter and rinse it under running water. If you live in a hard water area, perform a descaling process every few months using a food-safe descaling solution to prevent mineral buildup on the internal base. Keep the exterior looking pristine by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might damage the ridged finish.
