● 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.

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.
