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 base of the
kettle 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.
Only use the kettle in combination with its original
base.
Keep the mains cord, the base and the kettle away
from hot surfaces.
Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when
the kettle contains hot water.
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 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.
Caution
Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, at
and stable surface.
The kettle is only intended for boilong water. Do
not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred,
bottled or tinned food.
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.
Always make sure the water in the kettle at least
covers the bottom of the kettle to prevent the kettle
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’.
Boil-dry protection

device automatically switches off the kettle if it is

enough water in it. The on/off switch stays in ‘on’ position
and the power-on light, if available, stays on. Set the on/off
switch to ‘off ’ and let the kettle cool down for 10 minutes.
Then lift the kettle from its base to reset the boil-dry
protection. The kettle is now ready for use again.
