Frequently Asked Questions - JC100 BLACK & DECKER

How do I clean my Black & Decker JC100 kettle?

Unplug the kettle and let it cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the kettle, base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid. For stubborn spots, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based cleaners.

What is the capacity of the JC100 kettle?

The kettle has a maximum capacity marked on the water level window (typically around 1.7 liters). For safe operation, fill to at least 250 ml (one cup) and do not exceed the maximum fill mark.

Why does my kettle not turn on?

Ensure the kettle is properly placed on the base and the plug is securely connected to a power outlet. Check that the on/off switch is in the 'I' position. If the power indicator does not light, the kettle may have overheated due to insufficient water; let it cool and refill.

Is the kettle safe to leave unattended?

The kettle automatically shuts off when water boils, but do not leave it unattended while in use. Always unplug when not in use.

What should I do if the kettle doesn't shut off after boiling?

If the kettle continues to boil and does not switch off, immediately unplug it and allow it to cool. Contact an authorized service center for inspection; do not use the kettle until repaired.

Can I open the lid while water is boiling?

No, do not open the lid during boiling to avoid scalding from steam. Wait until the kettle has switched off and the water has stopped bubbling.

How do I store the kettle when not in use?

Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely. Store in a dry place out of reach of children. Wrap the cord around the base or store it neatly.
