FAQs
What is the capacity of the kettle?
The kettle has a capacity of 1.7 litres, which is equivalent to approximately 7 cups.
Does the toaster have a bagel setting?
The toaster features 'Defrost', 'Reheat', and 'Cancel' functions. It does not have a specific bagel setting, but you can achieve good results by toasting bagels cut-side inwards and using the appropriate browning level.
How do I descale the kettle?
You can use a commercial descaling solution following its instructions, or create a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Fill the kettle, bring to a boil, let it sit for 15-30 minutes (do not boil again), then discard the solution and rinse thoroughly. Boil with fresh water twice afterwards to remove any taste.
How often should I clean the toaster's crumb tray?
It is recommended to empty and clean the crumb tray after every few uses, or at least once a week, to prevent buildup and maintain optimal performance.
Can I put larger bread slices or thicker items in the toaster?
The toaster slots are designed for standard bread slices. While some thicker items like bagels can be accommodated, ensure they fit without forcing and always toast them cut-side inwards. Do not force items into the slots.
What is the warranty period for this bundle?
Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
Is the kettle's power base 360-degree swivel?
Yes, the kettle typically sits on a 360-degree swivel base, allowing for easy placement and cordless lifting.
Troubleshooting
Kettle not switching on
Ensure the kettle is correctly placed on its base and the base is plugged into a working power socket. Check if the power switch on the kettle is in the 'on' position.
Kettle boiling slowly or not reaching full boil
The kettle may require descaling. Follow care instructions to remove mineral buildup from the heating element.
Toaster not toasting evenly
Ensure bread slices are centered within the slots. Check that the variable browning control is set appropriately. Some variation is normal due to bread density.
Toaster lever won't stay down
Ensure the toaster is plugged into a working power socket. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault.
Toaster smoking during use
This could be due to accumulated crumbs in the crumb tray or on the heating elements. Unplug the toaster, let it cool, empty and clean the crumb tray thoroughly. If smoking persists, discontinue use.
Exterior surfaces look smudged
The glossy finish can attract fingerprints. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to restore shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpacking: Carefully remove both the kettle and toaster from their packaging.
Initial Clean: Before first use, wash the kettle interior with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the toaster, remove any packaging materials from the slots and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
First Boil (Kettle): Fill the kettle to its maximum capacity (1.7L) with fresh water and boil it. Discard this water. Repeat this process once more to ensure the kettle is clean before regular use.
First Toast (Toaster): Plug in the toaster, set it to a medium browning setting (e.g., 3 or 4), and let it run without bread. This burns off any manufacturing residues. There might be a slight smell during this initial run, which is normal.
