FAQs
What is the capacity of the Salter Ripple Kettle?
The kettle has a maximum capacity of 1.7 liters and a minimum boiling capacity of 0.5 liters.
How often should I clean the limescale filter?
It is recommended to rinse the limescale filter after each use and perform a more thorough clean or replacement as needed, depending on water hardness and frequency of use. Generally, check it weekly.
Is the kettle suitable for hard water areas?
Yes, the kettle features a removable limescale filter which helps to improve water purity. However, regular descaling of the kettle interior is still recommended in hard water areas.

What does the automatic shut-off feature do?
The automatic shut-off function switches the kettle off once the water has boiled, or if it is accidentally boiled dry, preventing damage and ensuring safety.
How do I descale the kettle?
Use a commercially available kettle descaler suitable for 3kW appliances. Follow the descaler manufacturer's instructions carefully, ensuring you rinse the kettle thoroughly afterwards.
Troubleshooting
Kettle not turning on
Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on its 360º base and that the power base is plugged into a live electrical socket. Check if the power switch on the kettle is in the 'on' position.
Kettle not boiling or boiling slowly
Check for scale build-up inside the kettle and descale if necessary. Ensure the kettle is filled to at least the minimum water level indicator.
Water tastes unusual
Rinse the kettle thoroughly after descaling. Ensure the limescale filter is properly inserted and clean. Use fresh water for boiling.
Automatic shut-off not working
Ensure the kettle is not overfilled beyond the maximum line. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
