Specification

We now take a look at the features.

• Capacity - 1.7 Litres, which is around 6 cups, or possibly 7 depending on the size. 1.7L is fairly standard. Most kettles are either 1.7L or 1.5L. This kettle suits large families perfectly.
• Dimensions - 21cm x 15cm x 24cm.
• Rapid Boil - A concealed 3kW heating element allows the kettle to boil water fast.
• Limescale Filter - The kettle comes with a pre-installed limescale filter in the spout. It can be slotted in and out, so cleaning is no problem. It prevents limescale from entering your cup, making your drinks look and taste better.
• Push Button Lid - The lid is controlled by a large push button on the kettle's handle. It's in perfect reach of your thumb when the kettle's handle is being held. Pressing the button will open a hinged lid to allow for filling.
• 360 Degree Base - The kettle is cordless and boils via a base. The 360 degree nature of this base means the kettle can be easily taken off the base and placed back on it.
• Boil Dry Protection - The kettle is protected by a safety mechanism which prevents it from boiling with no water in.

Easy View Water Window

On the side of the kettle is a water window which allows you to see the water level inside of the kettle. As a plus, there are markings on the water window showing the water level for 2 cups, 4 cups, 6 cups and the 1.7L maximum.

Integrated Cord Storage

Any excess electrical wire can be wrapped around the underneath of the base, as shown below.

Matching Toaster

The kettle has a matching two slice toaster. If you're redesigning your kitchen then you can coordinate the kettle with the toaster for a better design.
