Frequently Asked Questions - SJM240 KENWOOD

How to descale the Kenwood SJM240 kettle?

Use a suitable descaling product. After descaling, boil fresh water several times and discard it. Regular descaling improves performance and prevents damage to the heating element.

What to do if the kettle turns off before boiling?

Make sure the flat heating element is not covered with limescale. Descale the kettle if necessary. Also check the water level (between MIN and MAX).

How to clean the kettle filter?

Open the lid, remove the filter by holding the tab. Rinse under running water or use a soft brush. You can also place it in the kettle during descaling. Replace it by sliding into the notch until it clicks.

The kettle does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the kettle is properly plugged in and that the on/off switch is pressed. If it still doesn't turn on, make sure there is enough water: the boil-dry protection may have cut the power. Let it cool down and try again.

Can I open the lid during boiling?

No, do not open the lid while the water is boiling. Wait until the kettle is off and cool. Boiling water droplets may be splashed when opening.

What is the capacity of the kettle?

The capacity is not specified in the manual, but it is estimated to be about 1.7 L. The water level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.

How to use the kettle safely?

Do not fill above the MAX mark, always use the filter, do not let the cord hang within reach of children, do not immerse it, and do not use it on an inclined surface. Unplug after use.

What to do if the kettle leaks?

Check that the lid is properly closed and that the water level does not exceed the MAX mark. If the leak persists, the seal or body may be damaged. Contact Kenwood after-sales service.

The power cord is damaged, how to replace it?

For safety reasons, the cord must be replaced by Kenwood or an authorized repairer. Contact the store where you purchased the appliance.

Does the kettle turn off automatically?

Yes, the kettle turns off automatically when the water boils. It also has a boil-dry protection that shuts it off if the water level is insufficient.

descaling

- 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:

- problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling.

• the kettle may take longer to boil.

• the flat element may be damaged.

Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

- 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.

- 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.

- Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle.

- A range of Kenwood jug water filters are available.
