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.
- 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.
- 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:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
