• Enjoy unboxing your new purchase! (And make sure to remove the labels and packaging.)

• Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Before you first use your kettle, remove the lid, fill the kettle with clean water, boil it, then discard the water.

• 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.

• Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring to avoid damage or overheating.

• 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.

• 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.
