Classic
Stainless Kettle
is dishwasher safe, but remember
that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly
packed, other dishes or atware may mar the surface of the kettle. Over
a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any
utensil. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
<
to remove stains
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from a
harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar.
Caution: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out
this procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a
well-ventilated room.
<
to remove Burner stains
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of kettle can be removed
with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the kettle.
If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the
kettle before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Stainless Kettle has
exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low setting
on some gas burners will overheat. An inexpensive gas “ame-
tamer” placed between the burner and the bottom of the kettle
solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most
hardware stores.

CooKing over a gas Burner
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the ame touches only
the kettle bottom. If the ame comes up the sides, energy is wasted and
the sides of the kettle may become permanently discolored.
