FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Why won’t the kettle light up when switched on?
Answer: It may not be switched on at the plug.
Question: Why is there water spitting out of the spout when boiling?
Answer: There is too much water in the kettle. Only fill the kettle to the ‘MAX’ mark.
The kettle’s capacity is 500ml.
Question: Why has the kettle cut out?
Answer: There isn’t enough water in the kettle. This is a safety feature so the kettle
does not boil dry. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool down before filling
and using again.
Question: Why doesn’t the kettle switch off?
Answer: The lid is not securely closed. Ensure the lid is properly closed.
Question: Why is the water cloudy?
Answer: Some drinking water has limescale which goes cloudy when being boiled.
This is perfectly normal.
Question: Why do drinks made with water from the kettle leave a scum in the cups?
Answer: The kettle may need descaling. Follow the descaling instructions in this
manual.

CARE AND CLEANING
• Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning and storing.
• Periodically check all parts before use.
• Never immerse the kettle, cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp soft cloth. You may use a little mild
detergent, but if you do, rinse well with clean water to avoid tainting when the kettle
is next used.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive, or alkaline cleaning agents or solvents.
• Store the kettle with the power cable loosely coiled. You can pull out the two cable
storage guides on either side to help locate for storing.
• Never wrap it tightly around the kettle.
• Do not place in the dishwasher.
DESCALING
• Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible on the
floor of the kettle. Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft
water areas.
• All scale causes overheating and reduces the kettle’s life.
• Even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order. Use a
descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
• When descaling has finished, rinse and boil the kettle several times and discard
the water.
