Electric kettle Alessi Plissé 1.0 L 2200 W blue, thermoplastic resin, hidden base, automatic shut-off

The Alessi Plissé electric kettle is a 1.0 L kettle in thermoplastic resin with a sculptural pleated design by Michele De Lucchi. It has a hidden power base with a retractable cord, a push-button lid opening integrated into the lid knob, a lighted lever on the handle for on/off control and automatic shut-off when water reaches boiling point. The kettle includes a removable spout filter to retain limescale and a safety cut-out to prevent operation with too little or no water. The insulated base and ergonomic handle are designed for safe placement on worktops and comfortable pouring.

Advantages

The kettle combines a distinctive pleated aesthetic with functional features: a concealed power base and retractable cord for tidy placement, an illuminated lever and automatic shut-off for straightforward operation, and a removable filter for easier maintenance. Its thermally insulated base reduces heat transfer to the countertop while the safety cut-out protects the heating element from dry operation.

How to use

Fill the kettle up to but not above the MAX mark inside the body. Place the kettle on its power base and use the lever under the handle to switch on; an indicator light shows when heating is active. The kettle will switch off automatically at boiling point or if removed from the base. To open the lid, push the knob/button gently backwards and to close it lower the lid until it clicks. If necessary, remove the spout filter and rinse it under running water before replacing it.

Recommendations

Descale the inside periodically using a water and vinegar solution. Clean the exterior and power base with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not operate the kettle without water and avoid submerging the power base in water.
