The kettle is crafted from durable stainless steel.
What is the capacity of the kettle?
The kettle has a capacity of 3 liters.
Can I use this kettle on an induction hob?
Yes, this kettle is compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas stoves and open fires.
Does the kettle come with a lid?
Yes, the kettle includes a lid, which is essential for efficient boiling and activating the whistle.
How do I know when the water is ready?

Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle is designed to be ergonomic and stay relatively cool during use, but it is recommended to use a potholder for pouring when the kettle is very hot.
How should I clean the kettle?
Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. For tough stains, a vinegar-water solution can be used.
Troubleshooting
Kettle is not whistling
Ensure the lid is securely closed and the spout cap is properly fitted. Check that the water level is sufficient to activate the whistle mechanism.
Water boiling very slowly
Verify that the kettle is placed directly and securely on the heat source. Ensure the heat setting is appropriate for the amount of water. For open fires, position it over direct, steady heat.
Handle feels hot during pouring
Allow the kettle to cool slightly before handling, or use a potholder or oven mitt. The handle is designed to stay cooler but can still get warm with prolonged heating.
Discoloration on the bottom of the kettle
This is often due to mineral deposits or heat tinting. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a vinegar-water solution as described in the care instructions.

Care:
