BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and
position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from
the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply
voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the
plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does
not overhang the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid. Fill your kettle
to the maximum mark and close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power base. Switch your kettle on,
allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove
any residue left over from the manufacturing process.
USING YOUR KETTLE
CAUTION:
If this kettle is filled above the maximum level mark, hot
water may be ejected from the spout during boiling. Beware of steam
coming from the spout or lid especially during refilling. Never open the
lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. With your kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable
power outlet.
2. Remove your kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can fill it through the spout or by
opening the lid. Don’t overfill your kettle and always ensure that
there is sufficient water in your kettle for it to operate correctly. This
is approximately 250ml. Always check the water level when your
kettle is positioned on its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and then switch your kettle on.
Make sure that the lid is correctly closed to ensure safe operation.
5. When your kettle is switched on, the on/off switch and water level
window will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, your kettle will switch off
automatically.
7. You may also switch your kettle off manually at any time by moving
the switch to the off position.
ENERGY SAVING HINTS AND TIPS
A Oster
®
kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. Why
not try some of these energy saving tips:
• Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your kettle by one cup is
the equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one
litre of water will still be at 90°C after five minutes - the perfect
temperature for a cup of coffee.
IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built in fail-safe device
will automatically switch it off.
• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When it has cooled down
sufficiently the safety device will reset itself.
• Once the safety device has reset, lift the kettle and place it onto the
power base again, and then refill your kettle with cold water and
use it as normal.
CLEANING
CAUTION: Always unplug the kettle from the mains supply socket and
allow it to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not
immerse the kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other
liquid.
1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then
polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/
abrasive cleaners.
2. Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. Use
a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
CLEANING THE FILTER
CAUTION:
Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off the kettle and
empty it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the
mains supply socket. Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted.
• Open the lid and remove the filter from behind the spout.
• Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft brush.
• In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale the filter using a
descaling product. Use a proprietary descaling product following the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Refit the filter back into your kettle.
