descaling

●Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following:

●problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling.

●the kettle may take longer to boil.

●the flat element may be damaged.

Please note: not descaling your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

●When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts.

●Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regular cleaning.

●Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle.

●A range of Kenwood jug water filters are available.

JK940, JK840 specifications

The Kenwood JK840 and JK940 are standout models in the realm of electric kettles, combining practicality with advanced features to enhance the user experience. Both kettles are designed with aesthetics and functionality in mind, catering to both everyday tea drinkers and gourmet coffee enthusiasts.

One of the main features of the JK840 is its rapid boiling capability. With a powerful 2400 watts of energy, water reaches boiling point quickly, saving time for users who are always on the go.

This makes it suitable for families or gatherings where multiple beverages need to be prepared simultaneously. Despite its ample capacity, it retains an efficient design that does not occupy excessive countertop space.

Both kettles feature a stainless steel body, providing durability and an elegant appearance. The stainless steel construction ensures that the kettles not only look great but are also resistant to rust, ensuring a long lifespan.

A significant technological advancement in both models includes their cordless design. The kettles can be easily lifted off their bases, allowing for greater maneuverability without the hassle of tangled cords. The bases also feature a 360-degree rotation, making it convenient for both left and right-handed users.

For safety, the Kenwood JK840 and JK940 come equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, which kicks in once the water reaches boiling point or if the kettle is accidentally turned on when empty. This reduces the risk of overheating and ensures peace of mind during use.

Another noteworthy characteristic is their ease of cleaning. Both kettles have a wide spout for easy pouring and a removable filter that helps to prevent limescale buildup, maintaining the kettle's performance over time.

In conclusion, the Kenwood JK840 and JK940 stand out as modern, efficient electric kettles that enhance the tea and coffee brewing experience.
