Made from the finest solid copper, brass and pure tin, this newly designed kettle is now available worldwide. We are confident that you will not find a better kettle. By following the simple instructions closely, your Marchmain kettle will serve you efficiently for many years and of course, enhance your kitchen every day with quality rarely found in today’s marketplace. It must be remembered that your Marchmain kettle will require regular cleaning to remove tarnish and water staining which will appear on a daily basis during use (not applicable to chrome finishes which require only an occasional wipe with damp cloth and light “buff up” with a dry one). This is normal and we would therefore recommend regular cleaning to prevent a build up of stubborn staining, but even this can be removed with our copper polish.

DOS
 DO – clean the inside of your kettle thoroughly, fill to level with water, boil and discard before initial use.
 DO – regularly clean your kettle to prevent severe tarnishing (not applicable to chrome finishes – see above).
 DO – remove scale from your kettle as necessary if you live in a “hard water” area.
 DO – place your kettle centrally over the burner, and use the low gas setting (Models 3, 4 & 4mw only).

DON’TS
 DON’T – fill the kettle with water above the center seam, which is clearly visible through the lid aperture (dome versions – just below the spout).
 DON’T – use abrasive cleaners, which may harm the exterior or interior finish of your kettle.
* DON’T – use “Wire Ball” type de-scaler products which will damage the pure tin or
nickel plated lining of your kettle.
 DON’T – Place “off centre” to the burner, or use more than a low gas setting (models
3, 3mw, 4 & 4mw only).
 DON’T – put the kettle to boil with little or no water inside, this action could render the kettle unsafe.
* DON’T – throw your receipt away; you will need it in the unlikely event of needing to
return your kettle.
 DON’T return your kettle for tarnish or discolouration as this can almost certainly be removed with copper polish.

POINTS TO NOTE
Marchmain kettles are entirely hand-made. Therefore no two are exactly alike and finishes may vary depending on the piece of copper used to create your kettle. Any minor blemish in finish can be regarded as an individual characteristic, which does not detract from the beauty or affect the function of your kettle.
All models have a patented whistling device built into them. Part of this device is a ball and valve assembly inside the spout. The ball should always be free and you will hear this move when you raise the kettle to pour. This “rattle” is normal and does not represent a fault. If you do not hear this “rattle”, a gentle shake when the kettle is cold will usually restore the movement. Always be sure the lid is fitted firmly into its place before use.

IMPORTANT
In the event of rotation or looseness in the handle, the holding nuts must be re-tightened.

WARRANTY/GUARANTEE
Marchmain Copperware guarantee this kettle for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase on your receipt, against any problem arising out of faulty material, workmanship or manufacture. Marchmain Copperware will repair or replace at their discretion, upon inspection, any kettle found to be faulty in any way (not including failure brought about by neglect or misuse). This guarantee does not affect your statutory rights.

PLEASE NOTE
Some characteristics of Marchmain kettles, varying factors of use and the effects of “hard water” areas, can sometimes lead to symptoms which may affect the kettles’ performance but do not represent a fault.

FIRST AID

Bleeding

External Bleeding
1 Apply direct pressure. Place a clean, folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure. If blood soaks through, do not remove it. Instead, cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7 – 10 minutes. If the bleeding is from the ear, place a clean bandage over the ear, lay the victim on his side, and allow the blood to drain out of the bandage.

2 Elevate the injury. Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.

3 Know the pressure points. If direct pressure and elevation do not sufficiently slow the blood flow, find a pressure point. Large arteries found close to the skin’s surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg. The most common pressure points used during first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases above the upper legs. Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and bone directly behind the artery. If using the pressure point on a leg, you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your finger.

4 Resort to a tourniquet. On very rare occasions everything above may fail. To prevent the victim from dying, you should apply a tourniquet. Once a tourniquet is applied, it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help. Use a tourniquet ONLY if everything listed above has failed. If you use a tourniquet, write down somewhere on the victim the time it was applied, so medical personnel will know how long it has been in place.

Internal Bleeding
Internal bleeding results when blood vessels rupture allowing blood to leak into body cavities. It could be a result of a direct blow to the body, a fracture, a sprain, or a bleeding ulcer. If a victim receives an injury to the chest or abdomen, internal bleeding should be suspected. He will probably feel pain and tenderness in the affected area.

Other symptoms and signs to watch for:
* cold clammy skin                              * pale face and lips
* weakness or fainting                        * dizziness
* nausea                                                 * thirstiness
* rapid, weak, irregular pulse           * shortness of breath
* dilated pupils                                     * swelling or bruising at the site of the injury

The more symptoms that are experienced, the more extensive the internal bleeding.

What to do for the Victim
1 Check for an open airway and begin rescue breathing if necessary.

2 Call for medical help as soon as possible and keep the victim comfortable until help arrives.

NB The bleeding anything to drink. victim may rinse his mouth with water, but DO NOT give a victim of internal.
