Why This Model?

The S-EK175 is often chosen over plastic kettles because glass does not impart any odors or tastes to the water. The use of the STRIX thermostat is a major selling point, as it ensures the kettle can handle thousands of boil cycles without the sensor failing—a common issue in cheaper generic kettles.

Maintenance Tips

• Descaling: Since it is transparent, mineral buildup (limescale) will be visible over time. Boiling a mixture of water and white vinegar (or citric acid) once a month will keep the glass crystal clear.

• Water Level: Never fill the kettle above the MAX line to prevent hot water from spitting out of the spout during boiling.
