Remote-start warning
Never assume a kettle is filled, correctly seated, unobstructed or safe to start remotely. Follow the exact manufacturer’s instructions and retain ordinary manual controls.
No accuracy, latency, durability or energy-saving winner is declared without equivalent documented evidence.
