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 up to 66% energy, that’s enough to earn your

kettle back in a year!*

If everyone boiled only the amount of water they need, we could light the

streets of the UK for 7 months! (DEFRA).

* boiling 1 cup vs. 1 litre, 7 times a day

Did you know this about your kettle?

✔ Boiling some water in the electric kettle to wash a few dishes is more

energy-efcient than lling the sink with hot tap water.

✔ Boiling water in the electric kettle is more efcient than boiling water

on the stove.

✔ Boiling cold water in the kettle takes less energy than boiling hot

water, despite the longer boiling time. You save the energy that would

otherwise be used to heat up water in your hot water system.

Energy saving tips and tricks

✔ Switch to energy-efcient light bulbs

Energy-efcient light bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard ones and

use up to 80% less energy at the same time.

✔ Do not leave appliances on standby

5% of your power bill is used to run electrical appliances on standby. If a LED

light is on, your appliance is using energy.

✔ Switch off lights in empty rooms

You could cut your lighting costs by as much as 15% just by making sure you

turn off lights in rooms and corridors that are not in use.

✔ Don’t turn up the heating unless you really need to

Unless it’s just too cold for comfort, try to keep your thermostat at 19°C.

Your heating costs go up by 8% each time you increase the temperature by

just one degree

✔ Jazz up your hot water tank with a jacket

Insulate your hot water tank with a jacket. It only costs a few pounds and,

with all the heat it traps in, it pays for itself within months. Fit one that is

at least 75mm (3”) thick and you save a great deal of energy. If every UK

household would be tted with an adequate tank-jacket tomorrow, we

would save over £89 million in energy costs every year.

✔ Look for the logo

When you purchase new appliances, always look for the Energy Saving

Recommended logo. Energy Saving Recommended appliances are the most

efcient in their category and could save you up to £37 a year.

✔ Keep twice as warm with double glazing

Double glazing cuts heat loss through windows by 50% and acts as an

insulator, in the same way as loft and wall cavity insulation, making your

heating more energy-efcient.

Cleaning

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as

petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.

1 Unplug the appliance.

2 Clean the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth moistened with warm water

and some mild cleaning agent.

3 Clean the 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.

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. 900ml 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.

Storage

1 To store the mains cord, wind it round the reel in the base (Fig. 2).

Replacement

If the kettle, the base or the mains cord of the appliance is damaged, take the base

or the kettle to a service centre authorised by Philips for repair or replacement of

the cord to avoid a hazard.

You can purchase a new lter (order number 4222 459 45328) 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).
