Troubleshooting
Kettle does not whistle
Ensure the lid is securely on and the whistle cap is properly attached to the spout. Check that the water level is sufficient. Remove the whistle cap and lid to clean any debris that may be obstructing the steam path.
Water is not boiling
Verify that the kettle is correctly placed on an active hob burner. Ensure the heat setting is adequate for boiling. Check that the hob is functioning properly.
Handle feels loose
Allow the kettle to cool completely. Inspect the handle attachment points. If the handle appears loose, do not use the kettle until it can be securely reattached or repaired. Contact customer support if necessary.

This may be due to overheating or mineral deposits. Ensure the kettle is not boiled dry and clean regularly as per care instructions. For minor discoloration, a specialized stainless steel cleaner might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the kettle is placed securely on a flat, stable hob surface. Fill the kettle with cold water up to, but not exceeding, the maximum fill line indicated inside. Do not overfill. Place the lid firmly on the kettle and ensure the whistle cap is securely attached to the spout.
Compatibility: This kettle is designed for use on gas, electric, and induction stovetops. Always ensure the base of the kettle is appropriate for your specific hob type and that the kettle sits stably.
Care: Allow the kettle to cool completely before cleaning. Hand wash is recommended to maintain the finish. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel surface. For stubborn mineral deposits, a mixture of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Ensure the whistle and lid are clean and free of debris to ensure proper function.
