• To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse this appliance including power base
in water or any other liquid

• Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children

• Unplug the power base cord from the power outlet when not in use, before

remove the kettle from the power base until it is switched off, manually or automatically

• Use the kettle only with the power base supplied and vice-versa

• DO NOT use appliance for other than intended use

• Use on a hard, flat level surface only, to avoid interruption of air flow underneath

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POWER CORD

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be the same as that of your product. The extension
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

(For 120 & 127 Volts Only)

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE

WARNING: TO AVOID SCALDING, handle this kettle with care as water is heating,
boiling, and cooling. The lid must remain in place during use to avoid steam burns.
Keep spout away from persons as scalding can result from steam.

1. Place the electric kettle well back from the edge of the counter.

2. This kettle is intended for boiling WATER ONLY. Do not heat any other liquid or attempt
to cook any food in this appliance.

3. Hand wash only.

4. Do not exceed the “Max” water level mark when filling. Overfilling could cause hot
water to boil out of the spout.

5. Do not hold the switch on as this may damage the auto shut-off mechanism.

6. Carry or move electric kettle by handle only.

7. Kettle body may get very hot, be careful when handling.

8. Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid.

CLEAN YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE

BEFORE 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 specific kettle.

3. When the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with cold water
and repeat.

HOW TO OPEN THE LID

Place hand on the lid release button and push towards the I/O switch and then lift.

HOW TO CLOSE THE LID

Press down on lid until you hear a click.

5

HOW TO POUR

1. Grab the handle making sure the water release button is reachable.

2. Lift kettle.

3. Press water release button in and pour.

4. When finished pouring, release the button.

USING YOUR OSTER® ELECTRIC KETTLE

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 laying flat when kettle is placed in base. DO NOT operate
kettle if power base is not flat. Remove kettle from power base and repeat cord
placement instructions.

3. To fill with water, open the lid. Fill the kettle with water up to the “MAX” water level
mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the “MAX” water level mark indicated on the water

window.

4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch on by pushing up on the
I/O switch. The light will light up to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat and the
electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled. NOTE: Ensure

the I/O switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The electric
kettle will not turn off automatically if the I/O switch is constrained, or if the lid
is left open.

5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the boiling water.

NOTE: The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch “I/O” is again switched on “I”. Wait
15-20 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, and then switch on.

6

FILTER REMOVAL/CLEANING/REFITTING

Important: The kettle must be switched off “O”, disconnected from the power outlet and
allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use exces­sive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.

1. Empty the kettle and open lid.

2. Hold lid open with one hand and grip the top part of the filter with index finger and
thumb. Caution: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter.

3. To remove filter simply pull sideways. This will disengage the filter from its guides.

4. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.

5. To refit filter, once again hold lid open with one hand and filter with index finger and
thumb. Gently push filter back into the kettle until it fits snugly in its guides. Be sure to
fit the bottom tab of the filter snugly in the center guide. This will center the filter in the
spout, ensuring a good fit. Once the tab is in the front guide, push the filter forward to
snap it into place.

6. Rinse out kettle with fresh water, and it’s ready for use.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE

1. Mineral deposits in tap water may cause scale deposits to form inside the electric
kettle after frequent use. To remove this scale build-up, fill the kettle with a solution of
1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup water. Let it sit overnight.

2. Empty the vinegar solution from the kettle. Remove any stain remaining inside by
rubbing with a damp cloth.

3. Fill the kettle with clean water. Place kettle on power base and bring to a boil, then
discard water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready to use.

4. The kettle will not operate again until the on/off switch “I/O” is pressed upward.

5. Always remove kettle from power base and disconnect power base from electrical
outlet before cleaning. Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or any
other liquid.

6. The outside of the electric kettle can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE: Never use any chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean any part of
the kettle, including the power base.
