USING OVER A GAS BURNER
When using a gas stovetop, make sure the ame is
concentrated and touches only the kettle bottom. If the
ame comes up the sides of the kettle, energy is wasted
and there is a risk that the sides of the kettle may be-
come permanently discolored.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
1. Remove any labels/hang tags. If your kettle has a
max ll label (porcelain types) DO NOT remove it
from the kettle.
2. Wash in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
3. Fill the kettle only up to the MAX FILL mark. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
4. Kettle should be placed on a burner no larger than
the bottom of the kettle.
5. For whistling kettles, when you hear the whistle, turn off
the burner, remove the kettle from the burner and wait
for approximately 20 seconds until the water ceases to
boil. DO NOT POUR BOILING WATER. Always use a
pot holder or mitt when pouring. Handles may become
hot, especially if other pots are being heated on
the range.
6. Do not attempt to pour from the kettle unless the lid is
snapped closed/locked in place.
7. Depending upon where you live, some water may have
excessive amounts of minerals in it. Periodically remove
mineral deposits by boiling water with 2 tablespoons of
baking soda and the juice of half a lemon. Do not use
steel wool or harsh abrasives to clean your kettle.
8. Do not place an empty kettle on a hot burner.
9. NEVER ALLOW YOUR KETTLE TO BOIL DRY.
A kettle that has been boiled dry may be damaged
and should not be used. Electric burners may also be
damaged when a kettle is boiled dry.

Stainless steel cleaners may be used on the exterior
surfaces.

may need to use a commercial lime removal product.
