Incident: What happened that made you want to report? Our Mealthy electric kettle ignited while off the heating base, requiring a fire extinguisher for the flames to be put out: the kettle had been filled with cold water and place on a COLD metal gas stove burner, on a totally cold stove, and left unattended for approx 10 minutes when the smoke alarm went off and the kettle was found engulfed, with the flames reaching to the hood of the stove. We feel the sensor from the kettle somehow made contact with the metal from the burner allowing the kettle to turn on. Since it wasn't on its auto-shutoff base, the kettle kept heating till it ignited. What type of product(s) were being used?
