Initial set-up: the Wi-Fi light is not blinking
The Wi-Fi indicator will switch off if the kettle is not connected to any network within 10 minutes and this can happen after the kettle has been set up. To turn on the Wi-Fi indicator:
1.Unplug the kettle from the main socket, wait for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
2. If the long light doesn't lit up, press any temperature button to ensure there is power to the base.
3. Press and hold the 100 degree button for over 3 seconds until the beeping sound - the long light is expected to be turned on momentarily.
If the Wi-Fi indicator still doesn't light up after the above, please contact our support team quoting your order number, using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
Initial set-up: I can't connect my kettle to Wi-Fi
Sometimes due to that the broadband has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies enabled, the fast connection method may not work - so we will have to use the slow connection method.
Please try the NEW "Slow connection method" in the video following this link.

Before starting the set up, please ensure:
1. The kettle body is on the base
2. You have the 2.4ghz frequency enabled in the router setting. One quick way to tell is that if you already have any other smart devices that are working such as an Amazon Alexa, it means the 2.4ghz is present and the smart kettle should work too. If you wish to check the router setting, this can normally be found in the Advanced setting in your broadband online account.
3. Your mobile phone is already connected to your home Wi-Fi
4. You have disabled the VPN and you are not connecting it to any Wi-Fi extender
5. You have the correct Wi-Fi password.
If after following the video the kettle still can't be connected, please kindly contact our support team quoting your order number. You can find the contact form at the bottom of this page and we will respond within 24 hours.
Should you wish to receive telephone assistance, please also kindly suggest the best time for the phone call.
Kettle lost its connection and shows "Offline" on the app
If the kettle is showing "offline" on the app, it means you couldn't control the kettle remotely via the app or smart speakers any more. Most likely the Wi-Fi in the environment has dropped off at some point and when this happens, the kettle will shut off its connection mode after failing to find a network to connect to after 10 minutes time.
Please follow below simple steps to reconnect:
1.Unplug the kettle from the main socket, wait for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
2. If the long light doesn't lit up, press any temperature button to ensure there is power to the base.
3. Press and hold the 100 degree button for over 3 seconds until the beeping sound - the long light is expected to be turned on momentarily and it will automatically connect to the existing network.
If the Wi-Fi indicator still doesn't light up after the above, please contact our support team quoting your order number, using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
I have a new Wi-Fi provider, how can I connect to the new Wi-Fi?
Please simply press and hold the On/Off button - this will remove the kettle from the Smart Life app and become ready to be connected again.
Then please simply follow the user manual to add the kettle to the app using either the fast connection method or the slow connection method.

Can I still boil water if my Wi-Fi goes down?
Yes, you can still use the kettle without the Wi-Fi using the buttons on the kettle base.
Once the Wi-Fi comes back, please press and hold the 100 degree button to enter the Wi-Fi connection mode, then the kettle will automatically connect to the same network again.
Can you see how much water there is in the kettle on the App?
No. Ideally the kettle will be refilled after each use so there is always enough water for the next cup of tea and when you need to make tea, you can just shout out "Alexa, turn on the kettle" without having to take out your phone to check.
What if there is no water in the kettle?
Don't worry if there is no water in the kettle, the kettle has a built-in auto shut off mechanism - once it detects dry boiling, the kettle will be shut off and the Wi-Fi connection will be cut off.
Moreover, you will also receive a notification on your mobile phone app. Please ensure you have enabled push notifications both in the app and in your mobile phone system setting for the Smart Life app
Can I use the kettle without smart speakers?
Yes, you can still control the kettle remotely using just the mobile phone app.
How does the baby milk mode work?
