Important
YRead these instructions carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before using the
appliance for the first time. Keep these instructions for future reference.
YUnless a specific reference is made, these instructions apply to both kettles types HD 4620
and HD 4621.
YThis kettle has a safety cut-out which protects it against overheating due to operation with
insufficient water. If the kettle ever runs dry, switch it off and allow 10 minutes to cool down,
then refill with cold water. The safety cut-out will automatically reset. Subsequently you can
switch the kettle on again.
YPlace the kettle on a cool and firm, level surface.
YNever immerse the kettle in water.
YIf the kettle is tipped back too far, water will spill through the back cover. Though the kettle
will still be electrically safe, extra care must be taken if it contains hot or boiling water.
YWARNING: If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water will be ejected from the
spout.
YPrevent children from pulling the mains cord. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the
work surface.
YPour away the very first water boiled. The kettle is then ready for use.
YIf the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the original special cord (rated
at 10A/250V). Please apply to your Philips dealer or authorised Philips service
representative.
