Care and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your kettle. Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
Interior Cleaning (Hand Wash Only)
- The kettle is designed for hand washing only. Do not immerse the power base or the kettle itself in water.
- To clean the interior, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (e.g., 1:1 ratio) or a descaling solution.
- Boil the mixture and let it stand for 15-30 minutes, then discard. Rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the interior with a soft brush or sponge.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SEVERIN Mini Digital Glass Kettle, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Kettle does not turn on: Ensure the power base is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the kettle is correctly placed on the base. Check if the power button has been pressed.
- Water is not heating: Verify that the desired temperature has been selected and the start button has been pressed. Ensure the kettle contains water above the MIN level.
- Kettle switches off too quickly: This may indicate limescale buildup. Perform a descaling procedure as described in the 'Care and Cleaning' section.
- Water tastes unusual: Clean the kettle thoroughly, especially if it's new or hasn't been used for a while. Ensure only fresh, clean water is used.
