Troubleshooting
Kettle is not heating up
Ensure the kettle is placed correctly on a compatible cooktop and that the cooktop is turned on and functioning. Check that the bottom of the kettle is clean and free of debris.
Whistle is not working or is too quiet
Make sure the lid is fully closed and the whistle cap is properly positioned. Check for any debris or mineral buildup around the whistle spout and clean gently. Ensure the water level is sufficient; the whistle may not sound if there is too little water.
Enamel appears discolored or stained
For minor discoloration, try cleaning with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the finish.
Handle feels loose
While this is rare, if the handle or knob feels loose, do not use the kettle. Contact customer support for assistance.
