FAQ
Q: Is there BPA in the plastic material?
A: The Proctor Silex 1 Liter Electric Kettle is BPA free in all food zones. However, it is important to note that BPA is a controversial subject and no one knows with certainty if it is safe.
Q: Is this kettle supposed to automatically turn off? Because mine doesn't.
A: Yes, the kettle is designed to automatically turn off when it reaches a boil. However, the lid must be closed firmly for this feature to work properly. If the lid is open, the kettle will continue heating. Additionally, there may be a temperature sensor in the kettle that turns it off once it reaches a specific temperature. It may take 10-15 seconds after boiling starts for the kettle to turn off.
Q: Where does the little washable spout filter go?
A: The filter goes downwards behind the spout. The top of the filter has little side hooks that slide into tiny grooves on the inside of the spout.
