Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the

appliance and save it for future reference.

Danger

Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water

or any other liquid.

Warning

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you

connect the appliance.

Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord,

the base or the appliance itself is damaged.

If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it

replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by

Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid

a hazard.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

Keep the mains cord out of the reach of children.

Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of

the table or worktop on which the appliance stands.

Excess cord can be stored in or around the base of

the appliance.

Keep the mains cord, the base and the kettle away

from hot surfaces.

Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface

(e.g. a serving tray), as this could cause water to

accumulate under the appliance, resulting in a

hazardous situation.

Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when

the kettle contains hot water.

Do not touch the body of the kettle during and

some time after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift

the kettle by its handle.

Never ll the kettle beyond the maximum level

indication. If the kettle has been overlled, boiling

water may be ejected from the spout and cause

scalding.

Do not open the lid while the water is heating up or

boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately

after the water has boiled: the steam that comes out

of the kettle is very hot.

This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 10 amps from

the power supply in your home. Make sure that the

electrical system in your home and the circuit to

which the kettle is connected can cope with this level

of power consumption. Do not let too many other

appliances draw power from the same circuit while

the kettle is being used.

Only use the kettle in combination with its original

base.

Caution

Do not connect the appliance to an external

switching device such as a timer and do not connect

it to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by

the utility. This prevents a hazard that could be caused

by inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out.

Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, at

and stable surface.

The kettle is only intended for boiling water. Do not

use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred,

bottled or tinned food.

Never ll the kettle below the 1-cup level to prevent

it from boiling dry.

Depending on the hardness of the water in your

area, small spots may appear on the heating element

of your kettle when you use it. This phenomenon is

the result of scale build-up on the heating element

and on the inside of the kettle over time. The harder

the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can occur

in different colours. Although scale is harmless, too

much scale can inuence the performance of your

kettle. Descale your kettle regularly by following the

instructions given in chapter ‘Descaling’.

Some condensation may appear on the base of the

kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean

that the kettle has any defects.

Do not operate the kettle on an inclined plane. Do

not operate the kettle unless the element is fully

immersed. Do not move while the kettle is switched

on.

To prevent damage to the appliance do not use

alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft

cloth and a mild detergent.

Boil-dry protection

This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. This

device automatically switches off the kettle if it is

accidentally switched on when there is no water or not

enough water in it. Lift the kettle from its base and ll it

with water to reset boil-dry protection. The kettle is now

ready for use again.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled

properly and according to the instructions in this user

manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientic

evidence available today.

Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your

drink a powdery taste. The scale lter prevents scale

particles from ending up in your drink. Clean the scale

lter in one of the following ways:

Take the scale lter out of the kettle and gently clean

it with a soft nylon brush under a running tap. (Fig. 6)

Leave the scale lter in the kettle when you descale

the whole appliance.

Clean the scale lter in the dishwasher.

Descaling

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the kettle.

In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), we

recommend the following descaling frequency:

Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to

18dH).

Once every month for hard water areas (more than

18dH).

1 Fillthekettlewithapprox.400mlwater.

2 Switchonthekettle.

3 Afterthekettleswitchesoff,addwhitevinegar(8%

aceticacid)totheMAXindication.

4 Leavethesolutioninthekettleovernight.

5 Emptythekettleandrinsetheinsidethoroughly.

6 Fillthekettlewithfreshwaterandboilthewater.

7 Emptythekettleandrinseitwithfreshwateragain.

Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the

kettle.

Tip: You can also use an appropriate descaler. In that case,

follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.

You can purchase a new lter (order number 4222 459

45326) at your Philips dealer or at a Philips service centre.

Environment

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal

household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in

at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing

this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 7).

Guarantee and service

If you need service or information or if you have a

problem, please visit the Philips website at www.philips.

com or contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre

in your country (you nd its phone number in the

worldwide guarantee leaet). If there is no Consumer

Care Centre in your country, go to your local Philips

dealer.

Tips

Save energy, only boil what you need

Filling your kettle completely to make just one or two

cups of tea wastes energy. This Philips kettle has a unique

1 cup indicator so you can easily see exactly how much

water you need. By only boiling the cup of water you

need you could save 66% energy!
