To descale your kettle, fill it with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Boil the mixture and let it sit for 15 minutes. Discard the solution and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Ensure that the kettle is properly plugged into a functioning outlet and that the power switch is turned on. Check if the lid is securely closed, as the kettle will not operate if the lid is open.
Unusual noises can be caused by mineral deposits. Regular descaling can help prevent these sounds. If the noise persists, check for any loose parts or contact customer support.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish. For stubborn stains, a mild dish soap solution can be used.
Ensure the kettle is empty and dry before storing. Place it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the base.
Yes, it is normal for the base to feel warm as it conducts heat during operation. However, it should not be excessively hot to the touch.
Ensure no liquid spills over the rim, and clean the lid and rim regularly to prevent residue build-up. Lubricating the hinge with a food-safe lubricant can also help.
Check if the kettle is placed properly on its base and the lid is closed tightly. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.
It is not recommended to boil milk in the kettle as it can cause residue build-up and affect the kettle's performance. Use a separate pot for boiling milk.
Descale your kettle every 3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
