Product & Specification
1. Why doesn't the water re-boil when I add more water while the kettle is running?
When you add a small amount of water while the kettle is maintaining a constant temperature, it heats the water to 100°C using a "simmer" mode. The water will only re-boil if the added water causes the overall temperature to drop below 95°C.
2. What type of plug does the product use?
We use the standard Malaysian Type G 3-pin plug (British Standard) with a voltage of 220V-240V. It fits local sockets perfectly, ensuring safety and compliance for immediate use.
3. What are the power rating and voltage of the K·KOU electric kettle?
The K·KOU electric kettle complies with Malaysian electrical standards (1260-1500W, 220-240V). Actual wattage is subject to the product nameplate.
4. Does the K·KOU electric kettle consume a lot of electricity?
Not at all. While high power boils water quickly, low power takes longer (Energy = Power × Time). Since the KIKOU kettle only consumes a few dozen watts when maintaining temperature, it is actually more energy-efficient than standard kettles. You can use it with confidence.
5. Do K·KOU electric kettles use 304 food-grade stainless steel?
K·KOU metal electric kettles are crafted from a variety of premium materials, including 304 food-grade stainless steel, 316 food-grade stainless steel, Titanium, and Volcanic Rock. Please refer to the specific product details page to verify the material used for each model.
6. How long does it take for the K·KOU electric kettle to boil water?
It takes approximately 3 to 4 minutes to heat water from room temperature to 100°C. (Please note that the exact time may vary depending on ambient temperature, water volume, and atmospheric pressure.)
7. Why does the electric kettle get louder after being used for a while?
It is normal for an electric kettle to make noise while boiling water. However, if the noise is louder than when it was new, it is likely caused by limescale buildup inside the kettle. Simply descaling the kettle will restore it to its normal noise level. Note: Excessive limescale can affect the lifespan of your kettle!
8. Why do other brands have temperature probes inside their kettles while KIKOU does not?
K·KOU utilizes a proprietary chip-based temperature control system, eliminating the need for internal probes. This allows us to achieve a completely clean interior free from probes, silicone, screws, and plastic parts, ensuring a healthier water boiling experience.
9. Why does the water boil in my K·KOU kettle, but the thermometer reads less than 100°C?
The boiling point of water depends on environmental factors. Specifically, the higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point.
10. I placed the kettle on the base without water, and now all the lights are flashing and it won't work. What happened?
This is the dry-boil protection feature. If the kettle is activated without water, it will trigger an alarm and cut off power to prevent accidents and ensure safe usage.
11. What is the L-shaped connector in the package content for?
To prevent the silicone water inlet tube from kinking (folding) at corners, which blocks water flow. You can cut the tube at the bend and insert this L-shaped connector to join the two ends, ensuring smooth water flow.
12. Is it dangerous if the kettle keeps working while I'm away from the tea table?
For safety, the K·KOU electric kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection and an auto-shutoff feature (15 minutes after boiling). The keep-warm duration varies depending on the specific model and temperature setting. Please use it with confidence.
13. How do I remove limescale?
You can easily remove limescale using either white vinegar or lemon juice. Simply add your chosen solution and a normal amount of water to the kettle, bring it to a boil, and keep it warm for 15 minutes. Afterward, discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly with clean water.
14. Why is the kettle not pumping water?
Please ensure that both the electric kettle and the sterilizer are placed on the base. After confirming they are correctly positioned, press the water fill button and listen for a "beep". If water still does not flow, please contact after-sales service: service.my@ki-kou.com.
15. Why are the buttons suddenly unresponsive?
If the buttons do not respond while the unit is powered on, the microcomputer chip may have frozen. Please unplug the power cord, wait 6 seconds, and then plug it back in to restart. This should restore normal operation.
16. What is Silent Flip Lid?
The lid features a damping structure independently developed by K·KOU. When you close the lid, the damping mechanism ensures it shuts slowly and gently. This minimizes noise upon closing, adding a touch of elegance to your tea ceremony.
17. What is Constant-temperature Boiling?
After the water reaches a boil, if the temperature starts to drop, the kettle uses variable-frequency, low-power output to reheat the water. This maintains the temperature at 100°C for up to 15 minutes.
18. Why is Constant-temperature Boiling necessary?
When brewing teas that require high temperatures, this feature ensures a continuous supply of 100°C water, guaranteeing the perfect taste for every infusion. The water only boils once during the heating and maintenance cycle, meaning you avoid "re-boiled water" (which can affect water quality).
19. Is "re-boiled water" really that harmful to the body?
"Re-boiled water" refers to water that has been boiled repeatedly! After repeated heating and excessive evaporation, the water concentration increases, leading to the accumulation of heavy metal ions and higher nitrite levels, all of which pose risks to human health.
The K·KOU electric kettle only boils water once before switching to constant temperature mode. It avoids creating "re-boiled water," ensuring the water quality remains fresh and pure!
20. How is K·KOU "Shrimp Eye Water" different from standard "Shrimp Eye" or "Crab Eye" water on the market?
During the "Constant-temperature Boiling" mode, you will see a continuous stream of small bubbles rising from the water—this is what we call "Shrimp Eye Water."
This effect is powered by K·KOU's 10 years of R&D (Research and Development) into constant-temperature boiling technology, allowing for higher precision in temperature control.
Unlike standard versions, K·KOU's "Shrimp Eye Water" features bubbles that are more uniform in size, rise in a denser, more continuous stream, and last longer. This results in water that is fresher, more tender, and more pure.
