It may be caused by the following two reasons. One is that the spout and lid are not kept tightly closed when the kettle is working. The other is that the water capacity is not within a reasonable range. The best capacity is between 2L-2.64L. How to avoid discoloration of the kettle? The optimum capacity of water to fill is between 2-2.64 quarts. Below this range, the paint surface will be dry and cause discoloration (water can absorb heat from the surface of the kettle body, which can avoid this problem). How to keep the handle cool? The handle surface adopts thermal protection technology, which can only reduce the temperature, but cannot achieve complete heat insulation. It's recommended to wait wait 2-3 minutes to handle it after turning off the heat source. Why is there limescale (rust-like spots) on my teapot? How to maintain it daily? Different areas have different water quality,and poor water quality is more likely to form scale.It's recommended to use lemon to scrub the scale repeatedly,then put it into a teapot, add water to boil,and rinse with running water after half an hour. The tea kettle will alert you with a sweet whistle when the water is suitably hot. The optimum capacity for a tea kettle for stove top to fill with water is between 2-2.64 quarts.
