Salton SAK20 Instructions & Warranty - page 4
Discolouration of the internal part of the kettle due to water conditions in your area will
not be regarded as a malfunction.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle regularly.
PROBLEM SOLVING
1. Kettle switches off before it has boiled
Generally caused by scale build up inside, and can be resolved by descaling.
Alternatively, the kettle may have accidentally been used without water, causing
the safety cutout device to operate.
2. Kettle does not work
Check that the power supply is switched on at the wall socket
Check that the connection cord is fitted correct (connection base for SCK25)
3. Water has a plastic taste
Generally, this only occurs after the first use, and is not a problem if the water boiled
on the initial use is discarded as recommended in the above section. If the problem
persists, fill the kettle to the ‘max’ level and add 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
Boil and discard the water.
4.
Kettle forms scale and/or water turns cloudy
If you live in a hard water area this is normal, and is caused by calcium and
magnesium carbonates in the water. Therefore regular descaling will be essential.
SERVICE
Hints before returning for service :
1. Has the plug been wired correctly and are the wires tight under their screws ?
2. Is your household socket working properly ?
If service becomes necessary within the warranty period the appliance should be returned to an
approved Amalgamated Appliance (Pty) Ltd. Service Centre. Servicing outside the warranty
period is still available but this will be chargeable.
