Use and Care Instructions
• Avoid leaving water in kettle or pot when not in use. A build-up of mineral deposits may occur and reduce efficiency.
• Before first use, wash kettle or pot in hot water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. If you have a kettle, lift handle up until it "locks" into position.
• Kettle is dishwasher-safe, but may only need to be wiped clean with a moist soft cloth and dried thoroughly.
• Always ensure base of kettle or pot is covered by water before heating.
• For the kettle, do not overfill-maximum filling level should be approximately 3/4 full, just below spout hole inside kettle.
• Match kettle or pot base to size of burner.
• Before pouring from your kettle, ensure handle is "locked" in upright position.
• Do not leave kettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, damaging the base and enamel.
• Do not bang the kettle or pot. Repeated knocks may damage the enamel.
• A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically, if required.
