Frequently Asked Questions - KTST20CB KITCHENAID

How to use the KTST20CB kettle?

Before first use, wash the kettle with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Fill it with water without exceeding the maximum level. Make sure the lid is securely in place. Place it on a stove top over medium to high heat. The kettle will whistle when water boils. Remove it from heat and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Use the spout lever button to pour water.

How to clean the kettle?

The kettle is not dishwasher safe. Wash it by hand with a soft sponge and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid steel wool and abrasive products.

Is the kettle compatible with induction cooktops?

The KTST20CB kettle is made of enameled steel. Enameled steel is generally compatible with induction if the base is magnetic. Check the manual or test with a magnet. If the base attracts the magnet, it can be used on induction.

What to do if the kettle does not whistle?

Check that the water level is below the spout and that the lid is securely closed. If the whistling persists, contact the KitchenAid eXperience client service center at 1-888-801-1707 (U.S.) or 1-800-661-6721 (Canada) if the kettle is under warranty.

Can I put the kettle in the dishwasher?

No, the kettle must not be washed in the dishwasher. This could damage the surfaces. Always wash it by hand with warm soapy water.

What is the maximum capacity of the kettle?

The maximum capacity is 1.9 liters. Do not fill above the spout to avoid overflow and ensure proper whistling.

Is the warranty transferable?

No, the limited lifetime warranty is limited to the original consumer and is not transferable. A dated proof of purchase is required.

What are the important usage precautions?

Do not leave the kettle unattended on the stove. Do not slide it on a ceramic cooktop to avoid scratches. Do not let the flame climb up the sides. Use a burner suitable for the size of the base. Always place the kettle on a heat-resistant surface after use.

How to descale the kettle?

To remove limescale deposits, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1) or lemon juice. Bring to a boil, let cool, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Where to find spare parts for the KitchenAid kettle?

Spare parts can be ordered from the KitchenAid eXperience client service center or on the official website. Contact customer service at 1-888-801-1707 (U.S.) or 1-800-661-6721 (Canada) for assistance.

USING YOUR KETTLE

• Before use, wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry exterior.
• Overheating can make kettles with porcelain enamel bottoms fuse to the surface of glass cooktop ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cooktop. Do not leave the kettle on a glass cooktop; remove it, and place on a heat-resistant surface such as a cutting board.
• Always lift the kettle when removing it from the cooktop surface. Sliding or dragging may damage the cooktop surface or base of the kettle.
• This kettle is not intended for commercial or restaurant use.

• For best results, match the kettle base size with the cooktop burner size. Do not allow gas flames to extend up the side of the kettle.

• Avoid overfilling the kettle. Maximum fill level is below the bottom of the spout. The kettle should be at least half full before boiling. Do not allow the kettle to boil dry.

• Ensure that the kettle lid is securely seated on top of the kettle.
• For best results, heat the kettle on medium to medium high heat.
• When the kettle begins to whistle, the water is heated. For proper whistling to occur, ensure that the water level is below the spout of the kettle and that the lid is securely seated.
• Allow the kettle to cool on a heat-resistant surface. Do not leave kettle on a hot burner.
• Contact KitchenAid if the kettle fails to whistle while still under warranty.

CARING FOR YOUR KETTLE

• The kettle is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only. Surface damage due to chemical interaction or cleaning agents including, but not limited to, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or automatic dishwashers is not covered under your product's limited warranty.
• For best results, empty the kettle and wash with hot soapy water after each use. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Do not use harsh abrasives or steel wool to clean the kettle exterior, as scratching may result.

• If mineral deposits form on the inside of the kettle due to hard water, fill kettle with equal amounts of water and white vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for ten minutes. Pour out water and vinegar solution and rinse well. Repeat if necessary.

• The exterior of the porcelain-coated kettle can be cleaned with a soft sponge or any nonabrasive cleaning pad. Use warm, soapy water and rinse; then dry thoroughly.
