If Heating Element Discolors
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor.
This does not affect the performance of the kettle. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as this may damage the
stainless steel surface.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled
with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will cycle con-
tinuously, switching off, cooling down and switching back on.
You should:
1. Turn the kettle OFF, unplug the kettle and wait about
15 minutes for the element to cool down.
2. Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.
If Your Kettle Does Not Work
Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free cus-
tomer assistance number:
• Have you switched the power switch button to ON position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being
filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the kettle OFF,
wait 15 minutes and try again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged in the outlet?
