Does this kettle come in a stainless steel outer that’s not powder coated like the metallic colour ?

Thanks for your question! 😊 This kettle has a painted stainless-steel exterior.

Can you turn the chime off ?

Thanks for your question! Unfortunately not, the chime can't be turned off. It's part of the product's design and isn't a feature that can be disabled.

If you ever need help or have questions about your model, please reach out to us through our Contact Us Page! 🤗 https://kitchenaid.com.au/pages/contact-us

Our kettle doesn’t seem to “boil” the water. It’s luke warm. It then won’t turn on again for about an hour, we have to turn kettle off at the wall.

That definitely sounds odd, we are sorry to hear this occurred and we’d really love to help you get this sorted. The best next step is to reach out to our Customer Service team on 1800 990 990 so they can walk you through the next steps.

Can the water come in contact with anything made of plastic? Whether when filling, heating or pouring out from this kettle?

Great question! All internal components of this kettle that come into contact with water are made from stainless steel, with one exception, the water filter holder, which is made from BPA‑free plastic. During filling and boiling, the water does not come into contact with this plastic part.

Is this getting totally plastic free inside?

I find this response from kitchenaid misleading because the water encounters plastic when you pour it. I purchased this kettle and received it today. From reading about it, I thought it sounded as though the plastic part could be removed so the water would not come in contact with plastic but only part of the plastic bit appears to be removable. Is this correct?

Is there a 1.5 litre kettle in the 1.7 range?

Hi there, The KitchenAid 1.7L Variable Temperature Kettle is available as a full 1.7 L model. At the moment, KitchenAid doesn’t offer a 1.5 L version, but there is a smaller 1.25 L range if you’re after a more compact option. :)

In the blurb about all kettles, it says they have dual wall insulation but in the description of each kettle it does not mention insulation. Does this model have it? One of the reviews says it doesnt.

Thank you for your interest with our kettle :) The KitchenAid 1.7L Variable Temperature Kettle features dual-wall insulation. This construction offers several benefits, including improved heat retention to keep water hotter for longer, as well as keeping the exterior cooler to the touch while the interior is boiling :)

The lid on my kettle won’t open when I press the button on the top. I’ve cleaned and descaled the kettle. The button depresses the latch that closes the lid, but it doesn’t open when pressed. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix it?

I'm sorry to hear this is happening, that’s definitely frustrating. If you give our team a quick call on 1800 990 990, we can take a closer look and help you get this sorted quickly and get you back to brewing. 🍵

Is it possible to disable the beeping

Hi Micky 52, Thank you for your question. The beeping sound is a manufacturing function and unfortunately this cannot be turned off and/or removed.

Just purchased this kettle and the black ball for water level doesn't work. I see others have had the same problem, can kitchen aid care please advise if this is a fault

Hi Allylou, Thank you for your query. The KEK1701 Kettle does not contain a water level indicator. The "Black Ball" that you can see in the window is part of the seal that allows the water into the level indicator window. This is not a manufacturing fault.

Purchase the Kitchenaid Kettle we are happy with it. The only issue is water level black ball is not moving to show the water level. Is this an issue??

Hi Xris, Thank you for your question. The KEK1701 Kettle does not contain a water level indicator. The "Black Ball" that you can see in the window is part of the seal that allows the water into the level indicator window. This is not a manufacturing fault.

We just purchased a 5KEK1701A kettle. Can you please let me know if the black ball in the water indicated area should rise with the water level (as ours is not)

Hello, yes my kettle also doesn’t seem to work, when I fill with water the black ball does not rise

I love the quiet boil, but the loud "ding" when turned on and ready make this feature useless. Is there a way I can stop the "ding"? If not I'll be returning this kettle!

Thank you for your enquiry. Due to our kettle being a variable temperature kettle the ding is required to alert users that it has reached the desired temperature and is unable to be disabled.

Hello, can you hold the water at your desired temperature? Thank you

Thank you for your enquiry. The KEK1701 heats the water to the desired temperature and will then turn itself off alerting you with a beep that it is heated to the set temperature.

Does the stainless steel kettle have a brushed finish please? Fingerprint free ?

Thank you for your query. The 5KEK1701ASX is brushed stainless steel.

Is the inside of kettle and inside of lid completely plastic free? Including the spout and filter? Does the water come into.contact with any plastic? Thankyou

Thank you for your query. The 5KEK1701ASK is not plastic free. The removable limescale filter, the water filter holder and the inside of the lid are plastic.

Are there any plastic components inside this kettle, such as in the lid; the water level, that may make contact with boiling water?

There are no plastic components within the kettle. The lid itself is plastic.

My kettle lid pops open when I am boiling water, is that normal?

Hi Kate94, Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing. This is 100% not normal. Please contact our Customer Service Team on 1800 990 990, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm AEST. They will be able to assist in having this replaced under warranty.

Is this kettle BPA free?

Thank you for your query, Yes this Kettle is BPA and Chemical Free.
