Problem
Reason
The Solution
Water accumulates under the
base or runs down on the
exterior of the kettle.
There is too much water in the
kettle.
Immediately unplug the appliance. Then wipe
dry the appliance completely. Always observe
the MAX filling level when filling (1.5 litres).
You spilled some water when fil-
ling or moving the kettle.
Immediately unplug the appliance. Then wipe
dry the appliance completely. Ensure not to
spill water on the exterior of the kettle when
filling. Always ensure to hold the kettle level
when filled.
The kettle is leaking.
Immediately unplug the appliance. Then
check the kettle for leakage (see: ‘Checking
the Kettle for Leakage’). Do not use the
appliance, if the kettle is leaking.
The base gets unexpectedly
hot during operation.
The power socket in the centre of
the base or the pins at the bot-
tom of the kettle are damaged or
corroded.
Immediately unplug the appliance. Check
the power connection at the bottom of the
kettle and the power socket of the base for
discolouration, distortion or corrosion. Do not
use the appliance again, if the pins are not
smooth and clean. There is no use in trying to
clean or repair the pins of the power connec-
tor as the power socket in the base will be
affected as well.
