Danger
- Do not immerse the kettle 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 qualified 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.
- 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 fill the kettle beyond the maximum level
indication. If the kettle has been overfilled, boiling
water may be ejected from the spout and cause scalding.
- Do not remove the lid while the water is heating up.
Be careful when you remove the lid immediately after

the water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the
kettle is very hot.
- Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
Caution
- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
- Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and
stable surface.
- The kettle is only intended for heating up and boiling
water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids
or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
- When you select a temperature below 100ºC, the
water is not boiled (sterilised) first, but is heated up
directly to the temperature of the selected preset button.
- Always make sure you fill the kettle at least up to the
1-cup indication (0.25l) to prevent the kettle from
boiling dry.
- Depending on the hardness of the water in your
area, small spots or stains 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 influence the
performance and durability of your kettle. Descale
your kettle regularly by following the instructions
given in chapter 'Cleaning and 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, offices 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. The boil-dry
protection automatically switches off the kettle if it is accidentally switched
on when there is no water or not enough water in it. Fill the kettle with
approx. 1 litre of water. Leave the kettle off the base for 1 minute and then
place it on the base. The kettle is now ready for use again.
