Retro Style, 3000 W Power
Some kitchens deserve a kettle that earns its place on the worktop rather than hiding in a cupboard. The Smeg 50's Style KLF03 kettle brings retro charm, a gold-toned stainless steel lid and a chrome-finish handle and base to a stainless steel body in matt Champagne. Underneath, a 3000 W concealed heating element brings 1.7 litres, enough for 7 cups, to the boil, then switches off automatically at 100°C. The soft-opening lid and water level indicator make filling simple, the 360° swivel base suits left- or right-handed use, and the stainless steel limescale filter lifts out for washing. Form and function, in one morning ritual.

Enough for 7 Cups
The KLF03 holds 1.7 litres, which Smeg rates as 7 cups, so a single boil covers a family breakfast or a tray of hot drinks for visitors. A water level indicator shows how much is inside at a glance, letting you fill only as much as you need. The soft-opening lid lifts gently for refilling under the tap, and the removable stainless steel limescale filter catches deposits as you pour, then lifts out for washing.
3000 W Concealed Element
A 3000 W concealed heating element does the work, hidden rather than exposed inside the kettle. It brings up to 1.7 litres, enough for 7 cups, to the boil in a single go. The kettle runs on a 220-240 V supply at 50/60 Hz and switches off automatically once the water reaches 100°C, so it does not keep boiling once the job is done.
50's Style in Matt Champagne
The KLF03 belongs to Smeg's 50's Style range, and its retro styling shows it. The stainless steel body is finished in matt Champagne and topped with a gold-toned stainless steel lid, while the handle and base carry a chrome finish. The kettle measures 248 mm high, 226 mm wide and 171 mm deep and weighs 1.6 kg, giving it real presence on the worktop without crowding it. Anti-slip feet on the 360° swivel base keep it steady.
Switches Off by Itself
Safety is built in at two levels. The kettle switches off automatically when the water reaches 100°C, and a separate safety auto shut-off provides a further safeguard. Anti-slip feet keep the base steady on the worktop, and the soft-opening lid releases gently rather than springing open. The stainless steel limescale filter can be removed and washed, helping keep the kettle clean through daily use.
