Troubleshooting

Kettle not boiling

Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base, the power cord is securely plugged in, and the outlet is functioning. Check if the boil-dry protection has been activated; if so, allow it to cool before refilling and restarting.

Toaster not toasting evenly

Ensure the bread slices are centered in the slots. Check that the browning setting is appropriate for your preference and the type of bread. Clean the crumb tray, as excessive buildup can affect performance.

Kettle has limescale buildup

Descale the kettle regularly. Fill with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water, boil, let it sit for an hour, then rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, use a commercial kettle descaler following product instructions.

Toaster lever won't stay down

Ensure the toaster is plugged in, as the lever mechanism often requires power to engage. If the issue persists, there might be an internal fault; contact customer support.

Crumb tray is difficult to remove

Gently pull the tray from the base. If it's stuck, ensure no crumbs are lodged around the edges. Sometimes a slight wiggle can free it.
