Important

•Read these instructions carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before using the appliance for the first time.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

•Before 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.

•Use the kettle only with the supplied base unit. Do not use the base unit for other purposes.

•If 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.

•Connect the base unit to an earthed wall socket only.

•The 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.

•Place 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.

•Never 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.

•Prevent children from pulling the mains cord or knocking the kettle over.

•The 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.

•Do not place the kettle on a hot surface.

•Pour away the very first water boiled with this kettle. The appliance is then ready for use.
