SMEG - 50’s Style 1.7 L Electric Kettle

Iconic SMEG style for every cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

The SMEG 50’s Style Electric Kettle combines a distinctive matte-white finish with practical everyday performance. Its generous 1.7 L capacity boils enough water for up to seven cups, making it well suited to morning coffee, afternoon tea and entertaining guests.

Designed with a stainless-steel body, soft-opening lid, removable limescale filter and 360-degree swivel base, the KLF03WHMUS offers a comfortable and dependable hot-water routine while adding SMEG’s unmistakable retro styling to the countertop.

1.7 L Capacity

Prepare up to seven cups of hot water in one cycle. The large capacity is convenient for households, offices, entertaining and preparing several drinks at once.

Fixed Boiling Temperature

This fixed-temperature model automatically heats water to 100°C / 212°F. It is ideal for users who want a straightforward kettle without additional temperature-selection controls.

Soft-Opening Lid

Press the central lid button to open the kettle gradually. The soft-opening system helps reduce the sudden release of hot steam and makes refilling more comfortable.

Removable Stainless-Steel Filter

A removable and washable stainless-steel limescale filter helps capture mineral deposits before water is poured into the cup. It can be removed easily for routine rinsing and cleaning.

360° Swivel Base

The kettle can be placed on its base from any direction, making it convenient for both right-handed and left-handed users.

Automatic Shutoff

The kettle switches off automatically when the water reaches boiling temperature. It also includes an additional safety shutoff system for everyday peace of mind.

Matte White 50’s Style Design

The rounded stainless-steel body, matte-white finish, polished chrome base and chrome-coloured handle create a timeless countertop appliance designed to coordinate with other SMEG 50’s Style products.
