Energy saving hints and tips
An Oster kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. 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 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.
CAUTION: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet before cleaning. Never
immerse the kettle switch area, cord or power base in water, or allow moisture to come
into contact with these parts.
Descale Your Kettle Regularly
Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when the water is heated; lime scale may be white,
colored, even rusty-looking and is normally visible. Phosphate scale isn't generally
visible. However, it may cause the water to appear cloudy when heated. This may cause
the interior of the water gauge to discolor, cause overheating, trigger the boil-dry cut-out
mechanism or even reduce the kettle's life. Even in soft water areas it is important to
descale your kettle regularly to help maintain its lifecycle.
