FAQs
Uccello Kettle – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Uccello Kettle?
The Uccello Kettle is an electric tipping kettle designed to make pouring hot water easier for people with limited strength, reach or dexterity. Its rotating cradle allows you to tilt the kettle towards your cup without lifting the full kettle.
How does the Uccello Kettle work?
The kettle rests in a specially designed cradle that supports it while you pour. Using the handle, gently tilt the kettle forwards to pour water into your cup, then return it to its upright position.
Is the Uccello Kettle suitable for people with arthritis or weak grip?
The Uccello Kettle may be helpful for people who find lifting and pouring a conventional kettle difficult because of arthritis, joint discomfort or reduced hand strength. Its supported pouring action reduces the need to lift a heavy kettle. Suitability depends on the individual’s ability to grip the handle and control the movement.
Do I need a separate kettle tipper?
No. The Uccello Kettle combines an electric kettle with its own purpose-designed tipping cradle, so a separate kettle tipper is not required.
How much water does the Uccello Kettle hold?
The maximum capacity is 1.5 litres, approximately six cups depending on cup size. The manufacturer specifies a minimum fill of 0.7 litres. Always keep the water level within the minimum and maximum markings.
Can I boil just one cup of water?
No. Even when preparing a single drink, you must fill the kettle to the manufacturer’s required minimum level of 0.7 litres. Operating it with insufficient water can damage the kettle.
Can I fill the kettle without carrying it to the tap?
Yes. You can leave the kettle in its cradle and fill it using a small jug or cup, avoiding the need to carry the full kettle. Alternatively, the kettle vessel can be removed for filling at the tap. Follow the filling instructions supplied with the product.
Does the Uccello Kettle switch off automatically?
Yes. It features automatic shut-off and overheating protection. These features do not replace correct filling: always follow the minimum and maximum water-level markings.
Does it have a limescale filter?
Yes. The Uccello Kettle includes a removable stainless steel anti-scale filter to help prevent limescale particles entering your drink. The filter can be removed for cleaning.
How do I clean the Uccello Kettle?
Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior and cradle with a damp cloth, and clean the removable filter as directed in the instruction manual. Never immerse the kettle, base or power cord in water, and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Descale regularly according to the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are the plastics in contact with water BPA free?
Yes. The manufacturer states that all plastics in contact with water are BPA free.
