Regular descaling prolongs the life of the kettle.
We recommend the following descaling frequency:
-
Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to 18dH).
-
Once every month for hard water areas (more than 18dH).
To descale follow steps 1 to 6 below.
Use white vinegar in step 5.
Rinse and boil twice (steps 7-10) to remove all vinegar.
Tip: To descale the filter, lift it from the holder and place it on the bottom of the
kettle before you start descaling the kettle.
Note: Let the appliance cool down before you clean the filter.

Important
Read this important information 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 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.
-
Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
-
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.
-
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 open the lid while the water is heating up. Be careful when
you open the lid immediately after the water has boiled: the steam
that comes out of the kettle is very hot.
Caution
-
Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable surface.
-
Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Always make sure the water in the kettle at least covers the bottom of
the kettle to prevent the kettle 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 influence the performance of your kettle. Descale your kettle
regularly by following the instructions given in the user manual.
-
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, offices and other
working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments.
