Troubleshooting
Kettle is not whistling when water boils.
Ensure the lid is properly and securely seated on the kettle, creating a tight seal. Also, check that the water level is not too high, as water filling the spout opening can prevent the whistle from functioning correctly. Try lowering the water level slightly.
Water is taking too long to boil.
Verify that your hob's heat setting is appropriate for boiling water. For optimal efficiency, ensure the kettle's wide base fully covers the burner or heating element. Using a smaller burner than the kettle's base can reduce heating efficiency. On induction hobs, ensure the hob detects the kettle correctly.
Interior of the kettle has developed stains or mineral deposits.
Regular descaling is recommended, especially in hard water areas. Fill the kettle with a solution of water and white vinegar (a 1:1 ratio works well) or a dedicated descaling product. Bring the solution to a boil, then let it sit for several hours or overnight before emptying and rinsing the kettle thoroughly with fresh water. Repeat if necessary for stubborn deposits.

Care
To maintain the beauty and performance of your Le Creuset Kone Kettle, follow these care instructions:
- Handwash Only: This kettle is not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand using warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaning pads, steel wool, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the vitreous enamel finish.
