The kettle is controlled by one switch, the ON/OFF switch at the base of the kettle handle (HAND SW). This switch is controlled in two ways: manually by you; or automatically by the kettle thermostat (THERM), when the water boils. The thermostat is a bimetallic disc enclosed in the switch housing (MANUAL SWITCH UNIT). When heated, one side of the disc expands faster than the other, distorting the disc like an umbrella turned inside out in the wind. This action mechanically operates the ON/OFF switch, turning off the heating element (HEATER ELEMENT). The ON/OFF switch operates an indicating light (LAMP): when lit, it indicates that electricity is being applied to the heating element.
Two boil-dry protection switches (BOIL DRY SW1 and SW2) protect the kettle from damage in the event it is turned on with little or no water in it. Like the thermostat, these switches are bimetallic plates that turn off the heating element at the point where the kettle connects to the base (COUPLING). If these switches are activated, they can be reset by removing the kettle from the baseplate, filling it with cold water, and returning it to the baseplate.
