I've bought a new electric kettle. Severin WK 3472. It's supposed to be a quality brand made in Germany.

This mini kettle is very small. Only 0,5 Liters.

It has two weird issues. Smell of rubber from the glass tank. Steam on the glass tank after boiling even with the lid open that stays forever.

All my previous electric kettle never had this issues. No smell at all, and no steam at all right after boiling water, even with the lid closed.

Anybody else who has a kettle this small, can confirm if this is normal, or if my kettle is defective?
