FAQs
Is this compatible with other Alessi kettles?
No, this part is specifically designed for the 9091 melodic kettle series and will not fit other models.
Does this include the entire kettle?
No, this product is solely the replacement whistle attachment component.
How do I remove hard water deposits from the whistle?
Soak the attachment in a mixture of white vinegar and warm water for 30 minutes, then rinse well.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and the delicate acoustic plates.
What should I do if the sound changes pitch?
A change in pitch usually indicates a buildup of limescale on the internal reeds; a thorough cleaning usually restores the original sound.
Troubleshooting
Whistle produces a weak sound or no sound
Check for mineral scale buildup inside the attachment and ensure it is pressed firmly into the spout for a tight air seal.
Whistle feels loose on the spout
Verify that no debris is trapped in the spout or the attachment fitting and re-seat the whistle with firm pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the kettle is completely cool. Align the whistle attachment with the spout opening and press firmly until it sits flush against the metal. This part is exclusively compatible with the Alessi 9091 model (MPN: 9091/PERNO). To maintain the device, regularly inspect the small sound-producing plates for mineral buildup or scale, which can dampen the whistle's volume. If cleaning is required, soak the attachment in a solution of vinegar and water to dissolve lime deposits, then rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
