Important Safety Instructions

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions: Familiarize yourself with the kettle's features and operation before use.
• Hot surfaces: The kettle body and lid become very hot during and after use. Always use the handle and avoid direct contact with hot surfaces.
• Steam hazard: Be cautious of escaping steam from the spout or lid, especially when pouring. Keep hands and face clear.
• Children and pets: Keep the kettle out of reach of children and pets, especially when hot or in use.
• Stable surface: Always place the kettle on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface away from the edge of the countertop.
• Overfilling: Do not fill the kettle above the maximum fill line to prevent boiling water from overflowing.
• Empty kettle: Do not heat an empty kettle, as this can damage the kettle and the cooktop.
• Handle with care: The ergonomic handle is designed to stay cool, but always exercise caution.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle from its packaging and dispose of all packaging materials responsibly.
2. Inspect: Check the kettle for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the inside of the kettle with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Fill the kettle with fresh water to the maximum level, bring to a boil, and then discard the water. Repeat this process once more to ensure cleanliness.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the kettle with fresh water. Do not fill above the maximum fill line to prevent boiling water from overflowing. Ensure the lid is securely closed before heating.
2. Place on Cooktop: Place the kettle centrally on a suitable heat source. The tri-ply construction of the base ensures efficient and even heat conduction on all cooking surfaces, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops.
3. Heat Water: Turn on the heat source to the desired setting. Monitor the kettle as the water heats.
4. Whistle Indication: A whistle noise will indicate when the water has reached boiling point.
5. Pouring: Once the water has boiled and the whistle sounds, carefully remove the kettle from the heat source using the ergonomic handle. Hold the kettle firmly and pour the hot water slowly and steadily. Be mindful of steam.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning will extend the life of your Tupperware Chef Series Stovetop Kettle.

• Hand Wash Only: This kettle is not dishwasher-safe. Wash the kettle by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour (do not boil). For heavy buildup, you may gently heat the solution. Pour out the solution, rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water, and then boil and discard a kettle full of fresh water before next use.
• Storage: Store the kettle in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Kettle not whistling: Ensure the lid is securely closed and the spout cap is properly seated. If the kettle is overfilled, the whistle may not function correctly.
• Water not heating efficiently: Verify that the kettle is placed centrally on the heat source and that the heat source is set to an appropriate level. Ensure the base is clean and free from debris.
• Water tastes metallic: Ensure you have performed the initial cleaning steps (boiling and discarding water twice). If the issue persists, descale the kettle.
