HKM-7366611 1.7L Stainless Steel Electric Kettle with Smart Temperature Control for Home and Office

HKM-7366611 · Electric Kettles · 1.7 L, 1500 W, Black or Silver

Steel Body, Oval Panel, Six Icons

HKM-7366611 is a 1.7 L kettle with its controls gathered into one oval glass panel on the front of the body: the water temperature in large white digits, six labelled icons beneath them in two columns, and two keys at the foot of the panel. The body is steel — matte black in one variant, brushed silver in the other — with a chrome spine along the handle and a lid that lifts on a faceted knob.

It suits a counter where the kettle is read at arm's length: the panel faces the person filling it, the digits are legible from a step back, and the six icons split into two columns so a thumb finds the target without scrolling a menu. The 1.7 L fill covers a round of tea for four without a second boil.

At a Glance

• Type — electric kettle with digital temperature control
• Capacity — 1.7 L (57.5 fl oz)
• Power — 1500 W, as stated in the listing
• Body — steel shell, matte black or brushed silver
• Panel — oval lit display, six labelled icons, two keys
• Safety — automatic shut-off at boiling point

Materials and Construction

The shell is steel, drawn into a soft taper that widens at the shoulder and closes back at the foot. In the black variant it is a matte coat with a faint sheen; in the silver it is brushed, with the grain running vertically and a bright polished edge where the shell meets the base. The collar carries a steel rim, and the lid is a flat disc with a faceted black knob — fluted in the silver variant's photography — that lifts the lid clear.

The handle is a squared loop with a chrome spine on its outer edge and a black grip on the inner face, anchored at the shoulder and the lower body. The panel is an oval glass window set flush into the shell: a large three-digit temperature readout, six icons with printed labels, and two membrane keys — a menu key and a power key. The spout is a short angular cut at the front, level with the collar, with a bright steel lip.

• The chrome spine is structural as well as decorative: it is the stiffener that keeps the loop from flexing when a full 1.7 L body is lifted.
• The panel sits proud by less than a millimetre, so a cloth passes over it without snagging the edge.

How It Works

The kettle is filled through the open collar, seated on its corded base, and started with the power key. The panel shows the water temperature in large digits and holds a row of six icons — milk, honey, tea, coffee, pure and tap, reading left to right down the two columns — each a labelled target rather than a numbered setting. The listing describes the control as smart temperature selection without publishing the temperature behind each icon, so no degree figure is given here beyond the 100 °C the display itself shows.

The element is rated 1500 W, the one power figure the listing publishes, and the automatic shut-off engages at boiling point. A keep-warm function is not described, and no hold duration appears anywhere in the listing, so none is claimed here. What "pure" and "tap" select — a water type, a mode, or a second bank of presets — is not documented, and the panel's printed labels are the only evidence.

The body is cordless on the plate: lift it off to pour, set it back at any rotation. The panel travels with the body, so the reading is available in the hand as well as on the counter.

Placement and Use

Set the base on a level counter within reach of an outlet, with the panel facing the side the kettle is filled from — the keys are on the body, so the approach matters. Leave headroom above the collar for lifting the lid, and clearance at the spout for a cup held at an angle. The body is taller than a squat kettle of the same capacity, so check the clearance under a wall cabinet before settling on a spot.

• Fill before pressing power; the element sits below the floor of the body.
• Wipe the panel dry before use — the keys are membrane contacts under glass.
• Keep the base coupling dry; water in the contact ring interrupts the circuit.

Included and Optional

Colours and Finishes

Two finishes are sold at the same price: matte black and brushed silver. Both are photographed in full, so the difference is established rather than implied — the black body carries a black lid and knob with the same chrome handle spine, while the silver body is bright throughout, with a fluted knob and the brand mark printed inside the panel window.

The panel glass, the chrome spine and the steel collar are common to both. Neither finish is described as a coating or a plating in the listing, so the treatment behind the colour is recorded as unstated.

Care and Maintenance

Descale every four to six weeks where the water is hard: equal parts white vinegar and water, stood twenty minutes, then a fresh boil and two rinses. Wipe the shell with a damp cloth and dry the panel with a soft one — the window is glass over printed icons, and abrasives dull it. Neither body nor base may be immersed; the element and the coupling sit below the water line.

The matte black finish shows fingerprints more than the brushed silver does, and both take a dry microfibre cloth without polish. Keep the lid's sealing rim clean so the collar closes squarely.
