How to clean the outside of the kettle?

Use a soft damp cloth with a little mild detergent. Never immerse the kettle, base, or cable in water. Dry thoroughly before reuse.

What to do if my kettle leaks?

Check that the lid is closed properly and that the filter is correctly installed. If the leak persists, stop using and contact an authorized service. Do not attempt to repair yourself.
