IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
• The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil
– Check that your kettle is properly connected.
– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the
overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale
has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the
problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring
to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
