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.

- 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. 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 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.

- Never ll the kettle below the 1-cup level to prevent it from boiling dry.

- The kettle is only intended for heating or boiling water. Do not use it to

heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.

- 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 let any water run into the temperature knob.

- 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 goes to ‘off ’ position and

the power-on light goes out. Let the kettle cool down for 10 minutes. Then

lift it from its base to reset the boil-dry protection. The kettle is now ready

for use again.

You can clean the lter in three ways:

1 leave the lter in the kettle when you descale the whole appliance (see

chapter ‘Descaling’);
