Important Safety Notes
Safety and Use Guide
Clyde is meant for home use. Please read this guide completely
before using. Improper handling may result in an accident.
Please keep this guide for future reference.
• Check your kettle to ensure that all parts are accounted for and installed
correctly. Do not use if parts are missing.
• Do not use kettle if you see any sign of cracking, chipping, denting, or any
other abnormality.
• This kettle is only intended for boiling water.
Do not use with other liquids.
The mechanism that creates Clyde’s harmonica noise will be damaged.
• Keep kettle away from children while boiling water and soon after boiling water.
Water Levels:
• The max fill line (1.7 L / 54 oz) is marked on the inside surface just below
the handle. Do not fill above this line. Filling above the max fill line may
result in over boiling and the harmonic spout will not function.
• Never boil under 0.5 L (16.9 oz) of water. Under boiling and
over boiling the kettle may lead to discoloration, damage, melting of parts,
or burn injury.
• Never heat kettle while empty. Dry boiling may deform or damage the kettle,
or cause damage to your cooking range and increase the risk of fire.
General Usage:
• Do not use if large gaps exist between the lid and kettle. Hot water may come
out of these gaps. Ensure that the lid is secure and fits snugly onto kettle.
• Do not put hand over lid area or remove lid while kettle is still heating or
when water is boiling. Hot steam may be released and cause burn injury.
• Do not grab kettle body after heating. This could result in burn injury.
• Do not shake kettle up and down, side to side, or twist the handle.
This may loosen the handle.
• Clyde’s spout contains a metal marble that seals the spout when not pouring.
Once kettle is tilted, the marble rolls and reveals the spout opening, letting water
pour out of the kettle and into your cup. Please be mindful of the marble when
carrying around the kettle. Do not walk with the kettle tilted forward.
Preparation Before Use:
• Apply liquid dish soap to a soft sponge. Wash and rinse kettle thoroughly.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
• Hand wash kettle after each use using only liquid dish soap.
Do not use chlorine, bleach, or other chemicals to clean the kettle.
Let air or towel dry thoroughly.
• Using a coarse sponge, brush, or other rough surface will scratch the finish.
• Do not submerge any part of the kettle in water. The body, handle, or
thermometer may become damaged.
• White spots may appear as you keep using the product. This is caused by
magnesium and calcium residue contained in tap water. This is not harmful
to your health. Wash and dry kettle thoroughly after each use to avoid.
• Allowing traces of salt or oil to remain in contact from other products made
of steel or aluminum may cause corrosion to develop.
• If any sign of corrosion is discovered, apply some compounding polish on
a soft sponge and rub. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
