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.

- HD4679: 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.

- 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.

- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall

socket.

- 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.

- 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. Lift the kettle from its base and ll it

with water. Then wait for 30 seconds before you place

the kettle back on its base 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.

3 Cleantheremovablescalelterregularly.

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.

Note: This kettle has an integrated lter mesh that attracts

larger scale particles. This lter mesh cannot be removed

and does not need to be cleaned separately. When

you descale the kettle (see chapter ‘Descaling’), the lter

mesh is cleaned automatically.

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wateruptothreequartersof

the MAX level.

2 Switchonthekettle.

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

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

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.
