PROBLEM

Kettle boils dry.

 

Kettle does not work.

 

Kettle floor discolors.

PROBABLE CAUSE

If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed  

to boil dry, the kettle will shut off automatically. You should:
•   Turn the switch to OFF (

O

), unplug, and wait about 15 minutes for the element to  

cool down.

•  Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.
Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer assistance number:
•  Have you turned power switch to ON (

l

) 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 switch to OFF (

O

), wait 15 minutes, and try again.

•  Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet?
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 since this  

may damage the stainless steel surface.
