FAQs

How quickly does the kettle boil?

The kettle can boil 250ml of water in approximately 42 seconds due to its 3000W power.

What are the available temperature settings?

It features five temperature presets: 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, and 100°C.

Can I keep the water hot?

Yes, the kettle has a keep warm function that maintains your selected temperature for up to 2 hours.

Is the glass body durable?

The glass is designed for durability and clarity, but like all glass products, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts.

How do I clean the inside of the kettle?

For regular cleaning, rinse with water. For descaling, use a mixture of white vinegar and water, or a commercial descaler, following the instructions in the care section.

What does Strix control mean?

Strix control refers to a high-quality thermostat component that ensures safe operation, including automatic shut-off when the water boils or the kettle is empty or lifted from its base.

What is the capacity of the kettle?

The product description does not specify the total capacity, but it mentions rapid boiling for 250ml.

Troubleshooting

Kettle does not turn on

Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the base is plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power switch is activated.

Water is not heating

Verify that the kettle is filled with water and that the power is on. Check for any visible blockages around the heating element if accessible. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Automatic shut-off engages too soon

Ensure the kettle is not being overfilled or lifted from the base while boiling. Check if the lid is properly closed. If the problem continues, the Strix control may need inspection.

Visible scale or residue inside the kettle

Perform a descaling process using a vinegar and water solution or a commercial descaler as described in the care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the kettle and remove all packaging materials.
  2. Before first use, wash the glass carafe and the lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Place the kettle base on a stable, dry, and level surface near a power outlet.
  4. Fill the kettle with fresh water to the desired level, ensuring it is between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside.
  5. Place the kettle securely onto its base and plug the base into the power outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a standard AC power outlet.
  • Designed for use with water only.

Care:

  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the base with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass or metal surfaces.
  • Descaling: Hard water can cause mineral deposits to form inside the kettle. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Let it sit for an hour or two (or overnight for heavy buildup), then boil the mixture. Discard the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times. You can also use commercial descaling solutions following their specific instructions.
  • Lid and Filter: The lid can usually be removed for cleaning. If there is a removable filter, clean it gently under running water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
