Know before you buy
Thanks to the 1500-watt heating element, this kettle is designed for rapid boiling. While exact times vary based on the starting temperature of your water, you can expect a full kettle to reach a boil in just a few minutes.
Yes, the interior body is constructed from durable stainless steel. This ensures that your water does not come into contact with plastic during the heating process.
No, this model is designed for simplicity and efficiency. It features a one-touch on/off switch and an automatic shutoff function that triggers once the water reaches a boil, but it does not maintain the water temperature afterward.
The limescale filter is located at the spout and can be easily removed for cleaning. You can rinse it under warm water or soak it in a mixture of water and white vinegar to dissolve any mineral buildup.
Because the body is made of stainless steel, the exterior will become hot during operation. It is best to handle the kettle only by its handle, which is designed to stay cool for safe pouring.
No, this is an electric appliance and must only be used with its provided 360-degree swivel base. Placing it on a stovetop will damage the electrical components and void the warranty.
