Frequently Asked Questions

• • Is the glass fragile? The kettle uses toughened borosilicate glass designed to withstand high temperatures, though it should be handled carefully to avoid impact.
• • How do I clean the glass? To maintain clarity, boil a mixture of white vinegar and water once a month to remove mineral deposits (limescale) from the glass walls.
• • Is it cordless? The kettle itself is cordless for easy pouring, while the power base remains connected to the South African Type M wall socket.
• • Does the light stay on? No, the blue LED illumination is linked to the power switch and only activates while the kettle is actively heating.

Quick Teatime Hack: The "Crystal-Clear" Brew

• • To keep yourOttimo Glass Kettle looking brand new, avoid leaving unused water in the kettle overnight. Emptying it after use prevents mineral buildup on the glass, ensuring that your next boil is as visually clear as it is fresh — perfect for showing off the blue LED glow.
