Troubleshooting
Unit not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet and the unit. Ensure the power outlet is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the water level in the kettle is sufficient.
Tea is not brewing properly
Ensure the teapot is correctly placed on top of the kettle unit. Check that the water in the kettle is hot enough for brewing. Make sure the tea leaves are in the teapot and not blocking the water flow.
Keep-warm function not working
Confirm that the unit is powered on and that a keep-warm temperature setting has been selected. Ensure there is enough water in the kettle to activate the heating element.
