FAQs

Is the kettle suitable for induction hobs?

The standard Alessi Cha Kettle is typically designed for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. Please check the product's specific manual or Alessi's official specifications to confirm induction compatibility, as some models may vary.

Can the porcelain cups be used in the microwave?

It is not recommended to use the decorated porcelain cups in the microwave. The decorations may be damaged by microwave radiation, and the cups themselves may become excessively hot.

What is the capacity of the kettle?

The capacity of the Alessi Cha Kettle varies by model. Please refer to the specific product dimensions or Alessi's official product page for the exact capacity of this kettle.

How should I store the tea set when not in use?

Store the kettle and cups in a dry place. Ensure the kettle is completely dry before storing to prevent any potential rust or water marks. The cups can be stored separately or nested if designed to do so, taking care to protect the decorations.

What is the warranty period for this Alessi set?

Alessi typically offers a warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. The exact duration and terms can vary, so please consult the warranty information provided with your purchase or check the Alessi official website.

Can I purchase additional cups separately?

Availability of additional cups depends on Alessi's product line and current stock. You may be able to find matching or complementary cups through authorized Alessi retailers or their official online store.

Troubleshooting

Kettle is difficult to clean or has water spots

Use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. For persistent spots, a mild stainless steel cleaner can be applied, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

Decorations on cups appear faded

This is likely due to washing with abrasive detergents or in a dishwasher. Always hand wash gently and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaning methods.

Kettle lid is loose

Check if the lid is properly seated. If it is damaged, contact Alessi customer support for potential replacement parts.
