Troubleshooting
Kettle is not heating water efficiently.
Ensure the kettle is placed directly on the heat source and that the heat source is at an appropriate setting. Check for any blockages in the spout.
Handle feels hot.
While designed to be heat-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct flame can transfer some warmth. Use a pot holder or glove for extra caution when handling.
Discoloration on the bottom of the kettle.
This can occur due to direct contact with flames or high heat. It is cosmetic and does not affect the kettle's performance. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap.
