In the event of problems
There is no evident damage to your kettle:
• The kettle does not work or stops before coming to a boil:
- Check that your kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale

should start working again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:

teaspoons of baking soda. Bring to a boil and discard the water. Rinse out the
kettle.
