Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kettle, rinse the interior with warm soapy water before the first use. This kettle is compatible with all stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. For care, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the polished stainless steel surface. Instead, use a soft cloth and a gentle stainless steel cleaner to remove fingerprints or mineral deposits. To prevent limescale buildup, periodically descale the interior with a mixture of water and white vinegar, ensuring you rinse thoroughly afterwards.
