• • Power Cord: Keep the power cable tucked into the base storage when not in use to avoid accidental trips or tugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Is it cordless? The kettle itself is cordless for easy pouring, while the power base remains plugged into the South African Type M wall socket.
• • How do I prevent limescale? Regularly descale the interior using a mixture of white vinegar and water or a commercial descaler to maintain the 2200W heating efficiency.
• • Does it have a quiet boil? The Platinum range is designed for balanced performance, providing a standard boil sound that is expected from a high-power 2200W unit.
• • Can I boil milk in it? No, this kettle is designed strictly for boiling water; boiling other liquids will damage the concealed element and void the warranty.

Quick Teatime Hack: The Instant "Flask" Warm-up

• • To save electricity during the day, boil a full Platinum kettle once and pour any leftover water into a thermal flask. This keeps the water hot for your next few cups of t without needing to restart the 2200W heating cycle.
