Does this kettle actually need an electrical upgrade to the kitchen wiring as mentioned in the advertisement? Our kitchen is just a 13w circuit not the 16 it says it needs.
The boiler has a maximum output of 2400 watts. This means that a 13 A fuse is sufficient (with 13A, 13* 230 = 2990 watts). Theoretically and in my case also practically (I have the usual 13A fuse) there is no need for 16A.
I have been using this appliance for years without changing the kitchen wiring. I didn't realise that there are different wiring systems in Switzerland.
