Frequently Asked Questions - TKG JK 1004 KALORIK

How to descale my Kalorik TKG JK 1004 kettle?

Fill the kettle with a mixture of half water half white vinegar, bring to a boil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. You can also use citric acid. Perform this operation regularly to extend the lifespan of the appliance.

Can I heat something other than water?

No, this kettle is designed only for heating water. Never heat milk, soup, or other liquids as this could damage the appliance and void the warranty.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

Make sure the swivel base is properly plugged in and the kettle is well positioned on it. Check that the lid is properly closed. If the light does not come on, try another electrical outlet. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the descaling filter?

Remove the filter by gently pulling it upwards. Wash it under running water while scrubbing with a soft brush. You can also let it soak in white vinegar. Put it back properly before use. A clean filter ensures better water quality.

The water tastes like plastic, is that normal?

During the first uses, a slight plastic taste may appear. Boil two or three full kettles of water and discard. This taste disappears quickly. If the problem persists, check that you have not exceeded the maximum level and that the lid is properly closed.

Can I leave the kettle plugged in permanently?

It is recommended to unplug the kettle after each use to save energy and avoid any risk. The base can remain plugged in, but remove the kettle and turn off the switch if present.

What is the maximum water capacity?

The maximum capacity is 1.7 liters, indicated by the 'MAX' mark on the water level window. Do not exceed this level to avoid overflow during boiling.

The kettle stops before boiling, why?

This may be due to excessive limescale buildup on the heating element. Descale the appliance. If the problem persists, the boiling sensor may be defective, contact customer service.

Can I use the kettle with an extension cord?

Yes, but use a good quality extension cord, with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² and suitable for the appliance's power (2200 W). Avoid coils that could cause overheating.

How to get spare parts?

Spare parts (filter, lid, base) can be ordered from Kalorik consumer service or on the official website. Have the exact model TKG JK 1004 ready for the order.
