Troubleshooting
Kettle does not start boiling
Ensure the power base is plugged into a functional outlet and the kettle is properly seated on the 360-degree connector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, fill the kettle to the maximum line, boil, and discard the water to rinse the internal heating element. Ensure the base is placed on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface near an accessible power outlet. To keep the kettle in peak condition, use a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe the exterior chrome accents; avoid harsh chemicals that may scratch the finish. For the interior, descale the unit every 1-3 months depending on local water hardness to prevent mineral buildup and maintain boiling speed.
