FAQ

• How do I keep the matte black finish looking pristine? To maintain the deep, architectural black, avoid abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe with a soft microfibre cloth and mild detergent. This prevents fingerprints from dulling the sharp ridges of the pleats.
• Does the black resin show water spots? Because the surface is textured and matte, water spots are less visible than on polished metal. However, we recommend a quick dry with a soft cloth after cleaning to maintain the uniform "shadow-play" effect of the design.
• Is the power light visible on the black model? Yes, the lever switch features a bright integrated light that glows clearly against the dark resin, providing a modern, high-tech aesthetic when the kettle is active.
• Will the black colour fade over time? No. Alessi uses high-quality, UV-resistant thermoplastic resin that is through-coloured, meaning the pigment is part of the material itself and won't chip or peel like painted alternatives.
