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

descaling
G
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:
G
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
G
the kettle may take longer to
boil.
G
the flat element may be
damaged.
Please note not descaling your kettle
may invalidate your guarantee.
G
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.
G
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.
G
Alternatively, to reduce limescale
build up, use filtered water to fill
your kettle.
G
A range of Kenwood jug water
filters are available.
