Use the kettle exclusively for boiling water; do not steep tea or other plants inside. Before first use, rinse the kettle with hot water two to three times without soap, boiling water each time and discarding it. After each use, discard the water and heat the kettle on low heat to dry it completely. Do not wash or rub the inside of the kettle and always store it in a dry location. Note that this kettle is not compatible with induction cooktops due to the bottom diameter.

Avoid using soap or abrasive materials when cleaning the kettle's interior. After each use, dry the kettle thoroughly by heating it on low heat to prevent rust.
