摘要

An electric hot water kettle comprises a container (2) for containing water to be heated. In order to provide a user of the kettle with information regarding a level of water that is present inside the container (2), the kettle comprises water level indication means (10). These means (10) comprise a lighting member (20) having at least one light (21) and a float (30) which is capable of floating on water, and which is arranged in the container (2). The lighting member (20) is arranged in the float (30), so that the at least one light (21) moves along with the water surface by means of the float (30), as a result of which a most accurate indication of the water level is obtained. The at least one light (21) of the lighting member (20) is powered by a pickup coil (57) arranged in the float (30), wherein an inductive coupling between the pickup coil (57) and a coil (55) connected to the mains (52) exists.
