Using your Sea to Summit 1.3 litre X - Pot Kettle is easy. First, make sure it's clean. You can fill it with water or other liquids you want to heat. Place it on a camp stove, and turn on the stove. Keep an eye on it while it's heating to avoid boiling over. When you're done using it, let it cool down completely before handling. To clean, simply wash it with mild dish soap and water. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Store it collapsed and nested with other X - Series items to save space. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can damage the hard - anodized aluminum base.
