Breville SK550XL Electric Kettle Questions & Answers
How do I clean
Fill kettle until 3/4 full with 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to stand overnight.
Empty solution from kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.
Or you can use a proprietary kettle descaler, which is available at most hardware stores.
The kettle is not getting a good contact, It must
There will be a contact somewhere within the kettle which is probably sooty and will need cleaning.
If you can take it apart carefully you will probably be able to locate and clean the contact.
Rub it with your fingers if you can get it off...or if its stubborn, use a nail file/emery board
How do i get the screws out of a breville toaster
I took a 3/16" common (straight) screwdriver bit from one of my cheap universal driver bit sets, chucked it vertically in my shop vice, mounted a grinding disk in my Dremel tool, and ground a 1/16" wide by 1/16" deep slot in the center of the bit. It worked perfectly. A hacksaw blade carefully placed could produce the same tool.
Breville kettle blew fuse (trip switch) now won't switch on
If the 'neon' light is on, the power is getting to the kettle, so if its not heating up then the element must have broken.
This kettle has a little white trip switch inside the 'socket' of the kettle (not the base unit). If its not heating, light is not on and the plug fuse is OK, then poke the white trip until it clicks.
