Before The First Use; If The Kettle Does Boil Dry - Oster BVSTKT3237 Instruction Manual

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

1. Wash the inside of the kettle and lid with mild detergent and water. Rinse each
thoroughly. Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid.
These items are not dishwasher safe.
2. Fill the electric kettle with fresh water to the "MAX" water level mark on water
window. Boil the water, following the directions below for use of your kettle.
3. When the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with cold water.
4. Your electric kettle is now ready for use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as possible to a power
outlet.
2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper cord routing will
result in the power base resting flat when kettle is placed in base. DO not operate kettle if
power base is not flat. If power base is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat
cord placement instructions.
3. To fill with water, open lid. Fill the electric kettle with water to below the "MAX" water level
mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the "MAX" water level mark indicated on the electric kettle.
4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet.
TO BOIL:
Turn the switch to the on "I" position. The on indicator light will illuminate, the electric
kettle will switch off automatically when the water boils.
NOTE: Ensure the on/off switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The
electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the on/off switch is constrained, or if the lid is
left open.
5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the switch is turned to the on "I" position again. Wait 25
seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, and then switch on "I".

IF THE KETTLE DOES BOIL DRY

If the kettle is operated in accordance with instructions for use, it is unlikely that the kettle will
boil dry. However, in the event that the kettle does boil dry, it is protected by a boil dry, fail-safe
device which will switch the kettle off automatically on sensing a boil dry situation and keep it
switched off until the kettle is refilled with at least the minimum amount of water. Always allow
the kettle to cool for half an hour before reuse if the kettle has boiled dry.
