Frequently Asked Questions - BVSTKT673SS OSTER

What should I do if the kettle boils dry?

The kettle has a boil-dry protection that shuts it off automatically. Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes, then refill with water to above the minimum level before reusing.

How do I clean the kettle filter?

First, unplug and let the kettle cool. Open the lid, grip the top of the filter, gently push down and remove it. Rinse under a tap while brushing with a soft brush. Refit by aligning the bottom tab and pushing until it clicks.

Can I put the kettle or base in the dishwasher?

No, neither the kettle nor the power base is dishwasher safe. Hand wash only with mild detergent and water.

Why does the kettle turn off before the water boils?

Ensure the lid is closed firmly and the on/off switch is not obstructed. If the kettle is on but not heating, the boil-dry protection may have activated if there was insufficient water.

What is the maximum water level?

Do not exceed the 'MAX' mark on the water level window. Overfilling may cause hot water to spit out of the spout.

How do I descale the kettle?

Fill with a solution of 3 cups white vinegar and 3 cups water. Let it sit overnight, then empty and rinse. Boil clean water twice to remove vinegar smell.

Can I use the kettle for anything other than water?

No, this kettle is intended for boiling water only. Do not heat other liquids or cook food in it.

What should I do if the plug doesn't fit the kettle tightly?

The plug must be fully inserted until the marking on the plug is not visible. A loose contact can cause overheating. If it doesn't fit, contact an authorized service center.

How should I route the cord?

Follow the exit patterns on the power base to ensure the base lies flat. Improper cord routing may cause the base to wobble.

What is the warranty?

The kettle comes with a one-year limited warranty. Refer to the warranty insert for details, or contact Oster customer service.

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.

FILTER INSTRUCTIONS

A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling.

How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often you use your kettle. Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases.

FILTER REMOVAL/CLEANING/REFITTING

IMPORTANT: The kettle must be switched off, 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. Grip the top part of the filter with index finger and thumb. Gently push down and remove filter. You may have to hold kettle while removing filter.
   CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter.
3. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.
4. To refit filter, once again hold filter with index finger and thumb. Making sure the bottom tab of the filter is resting on the bottom of the opening, gently push the filter back towards the spout until you hear a click. The filter is now reattached. Gently tug on filter to ensure filter is attached properly.
5. Rinse out kettle with fresh water and it's ready for use.
