FAQs
How long does it take to boil a full pot of water?
While 250ml boils in 42 seconds, the time to boil a full 1.7L capacity will be longer, typically a few minutes depending on the water level and starting temperature.
What is the capacity of the kettle?
The kettle has a maximum capacity of 1.7 liters.
How do I clean the limescale filter?
The filter can be removed from the spout area. Rinse it under warm running water. For tougher buildup, soak it in a vinegar and water solution and then rinse.
Can I use this kettle for anything other than water?
No, this electric kettle is designed exclusively for boiling water. Do not attempt to boil other liquids or food items.
What is the purpose of the 5 temperature settings?
The different temperature settings allow you to heat water to the optimal temperature for various beverages, such as 60°C for honey water, 80°C for green tea, and 100°C for black tea or coffee.
Is the exterior of the kettle safe to touch after boiling?
The stainless steel exterior can become hot during and after boiling. Always use the handle and exercise caution when handling the kettle.
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 cord is damaged.
Kettle turns off before boiling.
This could be due to the boil-dry protection activating. Ensure there is sufficient water in the kettle. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault.
Water tastes or smells unusual.
This is often due to limescale buildup or residue from the manufacturing process. Ensure you have performed the initial cleaning steps and descale the kettle regularly. Rinse thoroughly after descaling.
The keep-warm function is not working.
Verify that the kettle has completed a boiling cycle and the keep-warm function has been activated. Ensure the kettle is properly placed on its base.
