Before First Use; Using Your Kettle - Oster BVSTKT3255G Instruction Manual

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.
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. R emove your kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
3. F ill 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.

illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, your kettle will switch off automatically.

®
these energy saving tips:
• O nly 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.
