Amazon Basics electric kettle malfunctioned, burned the plastic around the unit and filled the house with smoke. Unit is supposed to have automatic shut off. Fire department called to clear house of smoke. They agree it was an appliance malfunction. Cooktop that kettle was sitting on is now unusable until melted plastic can be removed. I have photos of the pot and still have the pot for evidence
