Is there water in the kettle?
The dry-boil safety switch turns the
kettle off when there is no water.

inside?

crystallization of mineral components, which appear white. These crystals are
not poisonous.
Does the kettle have water stains
inside?
This is the sound of the kettle components
cooling. It is not a malfunction.
The kettle has a safety switch-off when it detects steam. Steam may collect
within the kettle and drip from the bottom. This is not a malfunction.
Was water filled higher than the fill line? Reduce water below the fill line. (See P6)
A chlorine odor may remain, depending on the amount of chlorine used to
purify your tap water.
When using for the first time (or when using the product after a long period of
non-use), you may notice a plastic odor. This smell will go away with use.
Are you using (or storing) the kettle near a strong-smelling substance?
Strong odors may transfer to the hot water.
