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.
- 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 touch the body of the kettle during and
some time after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift
the kettle by its handle.
- 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 coming out of
the kettle is very hot.
- Only use the kettle in combination with its original
base.
- This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 13 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.
Caution
- In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must
not be supplied through an external switching device,
such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by the utility.
- 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 minimum level 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 the 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.
- This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
1 staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
2 farm houses;
3 by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
4 bed and breakfast type environments.
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. The on/off switch stays in ‘on’ position
and the light inside the kettle (HD4668/HD4667) or the
power-on light (HD4666/HD4665) stays on. Switch off
the kettle and let it 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.
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.

Note: Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give
your drink a powdery taste. The triple-action lter (HD4668/
HD4667) or scale lter (HD4666/HD4665) prevents
scale particles from ending up in your drink. Clean the lter
regularly.

descaling frequency is recommended:
- Once every 3 months if you use soft water (up to
18dH).
- Once every month if you use hard water (more than
18dH).
