Meaning/solution
After the water has reached the set temperature, the light of
the set temperature stays on for 120 seconds.
The water in the kettle has become more than 10°C hotter
than the set temperature because:
- there is too little water in the kettle. To prevent
overheating, always fill the kettle with at least 0.5 litres water.
- there is too much scale in the kettle. Descale the kettle
before you use it again (see chapter 'Cleaning and descaling').
The kettle is out of order. Contact an authorised Philips
service centre or the Consumer Care Centre in your
country.
