Troubleshooting
Kettle does not turn on.
Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Water boils, but not to the selected temperature.
Confirm the desired temperature is correctly selected on the control panel. If the issue persists, the thermostat may require recalibration or service.
Water tastes or smells unusual.
Perform a thorough cleaning and descaling cycle. Ensure the kettle is rinsed completely after descaling. Boil a fresh batch of water and discard before use.
Kettle shuts off prematurely.
Check if the boil-dry protection has activated, indicating the kettle may have been operated with insufficient water. Allow it to cool completely, refill with water, and try again. Ensure the lid is closed properly during operation.
Keep warm function not working.
Ensure the kettle has reached boiling point and the keep warm function was activated after boiling. Check that the kettle is still powered and not turned off at the main switch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the kettle is placed on a stable, dry surface near a power outlet. Before first use, fill the kettle to the maximum line with fresh water, boil it, and discard the water. Repeat this process twice to clean the interior.
Compatibility: This kettle operates on standard household electrical outlets. Its 3000W power requirement should be considered for compatibility with your home's electrical system.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the painted stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the finish.
- Interior: Regularly descale the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water, bring to a boil, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then discard and rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, use a commercial kettle descaler following product instructions.
- Filter: Remove the limescale filter periodically and rinse it under running water. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
