Care
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Remove the lid, fill with clean water, boil, then discard the water before first proper use.
- Using the vent: Always point the built-in steam vent away from the handle and away from yourself, as it may release steam hot enough to cause injury. Always let the kettle rest on the hob after turning off the heat, and before pouring, to allow steam to release.
- General use: Use the most appropriately sized hob ring to avoid damage or overheating. Don't allow the kettle to boil dry. Turn off the heat as soon as the water starts boiling, and never rely solely on an induction hob's automatic switch-off. Always make sure the spout and lid indentations point away from you and others.
- Glass hobs: Lift the kettle on and off, or across the surface, rather than sliding it, to avoid damaging the base or the hob.
- Pouring: Wait 10-15 seconds after boiling before removing the kettle from the heat, then pour. Never tip the kettle upside down, and make sure the lid knob is pressed firmly down.
- Washing: Handwash with a neutral detergent after each use. Never use abrasive scrubbers or detergents. Dry thoroughly to prevent mineral deposits, and don't leave water sitting in the kettle when it's not in use.
- Removing mineral deposits: Fill to the maximum mark with a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar, and simmer for 20 minutes. Use a gentle descaler if deposits persist.
- Refilling: Allow the kettle to cool thoroughly before refilling with cold water.
