Repeat process if needed.
Note: When using powder descaler or citric acid, always add water. Never use in an
empty kettle.
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 to clean your kettle regularly.
Problem Solving
Kettle switches off before it has boiled.
Generally caused by scale build up inside, and can be resolved by descaling.
Alternately, the kettle may have accidentally been used without water or insufficient
water, causing the safety cutout device to operate. Re-set as explained below.
Re setting the boil dry safety cut-out
Wait 5 minutes for the kettle to cool, and then refill with cool water. Push the On/Off
switch, and after about 25 minutes the kettle will automatically re-set itself, and start to
boil.
Kettle does not work
Check the power supply is switched on at the wall socket.
If the kettle has boiled dry the safety cutout will have operated (see paragraph above)
Water has a plastic taste
Generally this only occurs on the first use, and is not a problem if the water boiled on the
initial use is discarded as recommended in the section ‘Before First Use’. If the problem
persists, fill the kettle to the MAX level, and add 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Boil
and discard the water.
Kettle forms scale inside and/or water turns cloudy.
If you live in hard water area this is normal, and is caused by calcium, and magnesium
carbonates in the water, and therefore regularly descaling will be essential. If you wish to
find out more about the type of water in your area, your local water company can give
you advice.
