Before the first use
Before your new Fire Kettle can be used for the first time, the feet must be attached to the fire bowl and
the kettle must be thoroughly rinsed out. The feet are delivered inside the kettle. To take the feet out of
the Fire Kettle, pull the fire bowl out of the bottom opening. The best way to do this is to hold the Fire
Kettle firmly by the top or by both handles. Now you can attach the feet to the fire bowl. Gently press
together the upper ends of the feet. These bent ends can then be inserted in the mounting at the bottom
of the fire bowl. Repeat these steps three times, until all feet are attached.
Of course, you can also use the Fire Kettle without its feet. To take off the feet, the procedure
is the same as for inserting them. When the Fire Kettle is used without feet, it can, however,
leave unpleasant burnt traces on the ground.
Before you can really start using your Fire kettle, rinse it thoroughly with hot, clean water. Only
use hot, clean water, and no dishwashing soap!
We also advise you to practice screwing on and screwing off the cap with the steam whistle
before using the Fire Kettle for the first time, since it can be a little hard at first. Do the same
with the separate screw cap.
Boiling water with the Petromax Fire Kettle
1. Fill the Fire Kettle with the desired amount of water, not exceeding the lower edge of the spout
(fk-le75: 0.75 L max., fk-le150: 1.5 L max.). When closing the Fire Kettle, make sure that the steam
whistle is screwed on not too tight; otherwise, the steam whistle will be very hard to screw off when
the kettle is hot.
