Important
YRead these instructions carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before using the
appliance for the first time.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
YBefore connecting the kettle, check if the voltage indicated on the appliance (underside of
kettle and base unit) corresponds with the mains voltage in your home. If this is not the
case, contact your dealer and do not use the kettle.
YUse the kettle only with the supplied base unit. Do not use the base unit for other purposes.
YIf the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord.
Apply to your Philips dealer or the Philips organisation in your country.
YConnect the base unit to an earthed wall socket only.
YThe kettle is protected against damage due to operation with insufficient water by means of
a safety cut-out. This cuts off the power when the heating element gets too hot.
- If the kettle ever is operated with too little or no water, first remove the mains plug from the
wall socket. Leave to cool down for 15 minutes before re-filling with cold water.
The safety cut-out will automatically reset.
YPlace the appliance on a stable flat surface. Ensure that the base unit and the kettle cannot
fall into water and that no water can be splashed onto the base unit.
YNever immerse the kettle or the base unit in water. Do not allow water to penetrate the
electrical parts inside the kettle or the base unit.
YPrevent children from pulling the mains cord or knocking the kettle over.
YThe kettle may be cleaned with a damp cloth. First remove the kettle from the base unit.
The base unit can be cleaned in the same manner. First remove the mains plug from the wall
socket.
If the kettle is tipped too far backwards, water may be spilt through the rear cover. If this
happens the kettle will still be electrically safe. Extra care must be taken if the kettle contains
hot or boiling water.
YDo not place the kettle on a hot surface.
YPour away the very first water boiled with this kettle. The appliance is then ready for use.
