Frequently Asked Questions - WK-17 WILFA

How do I descale my Wilfa WK-17 kettle?

To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar (or use a descaling solution). Boil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then empty and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What does the indicator light mean?

The indicator light turns on when the kettle is heating and switches off automatically once the water reaches boiling point or when the kettle is switched off.

Can I use the kettle on a timer or smart plug?

No, it is not recommended. The kettle relies on manual switching for safe operation. Using a timer may interfere with the auto shut-off function and create a fire hazard.

The kettle automatically shuts off once the water boils. However, always unplug the kettle when not in use and do not leave unattended during operation.

Unplug and let the kettle cool. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads or immerse the kettle or base in water.

The filter is located at the spout. To remove, gently pull it out. Insert the new filter by pressing it into place. Ensure it fits securely before use.

The kettle has a capacity of 1.7 liters, suitable for up to 7 cups of water.

Does the kettle have a keep-warm function?

Can the kettle be used on a metal surface?

Yes, the base is designed to be placed on any flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the base is dry and clean.

How to avoid limescale buildup?
