17 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
18 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.

happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
20 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the
steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
21 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
