If you experience problems

with your kettle switching on

and off during use or

switching off before boiling,

check that the flat element is

free from scale - see

“descaling”. If descaling does

not solve the problem contact

Kenwood customer care.

Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter
to hold back limescale particles.

If you find drops of water under your
kettle, don’t worry - it is just
condensation.

boil-dry protection

If you switch on with too little water,
your kettle will cut out automatically.
Switch off and let it cool down
before re-filling.
When it has cooled down, the switch
will reset itself.

care and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug your kettle
and let it cool down.

scratch the metal and plastic
surfaces.

the inside

Wipe with bicarbonate of soda on a
damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly.

Even though your kettle comes with
a scale filter, you still need to clean
the inside (and the filter) regularly.

soft brush

descaling

Regular descaling of the flat element
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:

problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.

the kettle may take longer to boil.

the flat element may be damaged.

Please note: not descaling your kettle
may invalidate your guarantee.

When limescale starts to build up on
the heating element, buy a suitable
descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water
several times and discard. Clean any
descaler off the kettle - it can
damage the parts.

Some regions of the country have
chalky water. This makes boiled
water look cloudy and leaves a
deposit on the side of the kettle. This
is normal but can be removed with
regular cleaning.

Alternatively, to reduce limescale
build up, use filtered water to fill your
kettle.

A range of Kenwood jug water filters
are available.
