【How to use】
・Before first use, rinse inside the kettle and pour water. After boiling it without the lid, drain hot water and repeat it 2-3 times.
・After boiling the water, please use it up or move it to an insulated water bottle. Dry inside the kettle with remaining heat. Or take the lid off and heat the kettle up. Stop heating soon after making the inside dry. Please don’t heat it too much without the water.
・Don’t leave the kettle with water because it may cause rust.
・Don’t touch and wash the inside of the kettle. Don’t rub with a sponge or scrubbing brush.
