–
Check that your kettle is properly connected.

The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has
caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with
water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few
boilings. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of
bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
