Le Creuset Kone Kettle 1.6L (11 Colours)

Use

• For induction hob cooking, avoid using the ‘boost’ function as it should only be used for rapid heating large volumes of water.
• Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring to avoid damage or overheating. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won’t ‘recognise’ the product.
• On induction hobs/stove tops, do not rely on the automatic switch-off function. In case of malfunction, all the water in the kettle may evaporate, causing damage by overheating.
• Lift the kettle on and off, or across the surface instead of sliding to avoid damaging the base of the kettle or the surface
• When hot, rest it on a heat-resistant surface.
• For those kettles with a foldable handle, do ensure that the handle is firmly in the upright position before placing the kettle on the heat source to avoid possible handle overheating.
• Close the lid tightly to keep the handle safe from steam.
• Always make sure the spout and lid indentations are pointing away from you and others.
• Do not allow the kettle to boil dry, as this will quickly lead to overheating.
• Remember to turn off the heating source when the water starts boiling, and remove the kettle from the heating source.
• Boiled your water? Wait 10-15 seconds before removing the kettle from the heat, then go ahead and pour. Never tip the kettle upside down. Make sure the lid knob is pressed firmly down.
• Allow your kettle to cool thoroughly before refilling it with cold water.

Cleaning

• Clean your kettle after each use – hand wash it with a neutral detergent. Never use abrasive scrubbers or detergents as they could damage the surface. Done? Dry your kettle thoroughly to prevent mineral deposits.
• Don’t leave water sitting in your kettle when it’s not in use.
• To remove mineral deposits fill the kettle up to the maximum mark level with a mixture of 50% water and 50% white vinegar and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. If deposit persists use a gentle descaler.
• Dry well after washing and store in a dry place.
