• Rinse the interior of the kettle with hot water.
• Fill the kettle to the maximum level.
• Close the lid and bring to boil.

Always hold the product by its handle when removing from your selected heat source.

1) Remove the lid to fill with water:

• By holding the handle and using your index and middle finger, lift the knob, and the lid will unclip out of its section.
• Fill the product with the desired amount of water and do not fill above the maximum fill line, as water could bubble out the spout when boiling.

2) After filling with water, place the lid back on to the product firmly.
3) Place the product on the desired heat source and make sure that the heat source matches the size.
4) Once you hear the whistle tone, turn off the heat source.

Should you need to refill the product please allow the product to cool before adding water.

Never re fill a hot product with cold water.

The heating source needs to match the size of the base of the whistling kettle, should you use a larger plate or if the gas flames wrap around the edges of the product discolouration could occur by damaging the product finishing.

Cleaning and maintenance

4 Cleaning and maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the outside surfaces of the kettle in good condition, clean them regularly after use, after allowing them to cool down.

Pour a gentle detergent into a damp cloth and clean the surface, wipe thoroughly once more and then dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Improper use (risk of damage to surfaces):

• Do not use steam jets to clean the product.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic scourers).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

4.2 Descaling

Improper use: Risk of damaging the product.

Do not use descaling products for cleaning bathrooms or kitchens or products that contain perfumes.

Regularly removing scale deposits from inside the kettle will prolong your kettle's life, ensuring maximum performance and energy savings.

The kettle can be descaled using specific descaling products. Follow the descaler instructions.

Alternatively, you can use common household vinegar. Proceed as follows:

1) Fill the kettle with water (1.5 litres / 51 fl. oz.) and boil it.
2) Add white vinegar (0.5 litres / 17 fl. oz. to 0.7 litres / 24 fl. oz. depending on the amount of scale).
3) Leave it to act overnight.
4) Empty the kettle.
5) Fill the kettle with water and boil it.
6) Empty the kettle, disposing of the water safely. Repeat this operation at least twice.

Tips and suggestions for the user Frequent use or very hard water increases the risk of scale.

Scale may increase the boiling time.

If the kettle is used daily, descale it more frequently. If the water is hard, clean more frequently or use purified water.
