Important
This kettle is only meant to be used for boiling water.
Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum level indication. If the kettle has
been overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water will be ejected from the
spout.
Never fill the kettle below the minimum level. In case of kettles with a flat
heating element: never put less than 0.1 litre of water in the kettle to
prevent the kettle from boiling dry. In case of kettles with a spiral heating
element: never put less than 0.4 litre of water in the kettle, unless the
water-level indicator indicates a different minimal water-level . In case of
metal kettles: never put less than 0.2 litre of water in the kettle.
Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle.This is perfectly
normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defects.
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
will build up. Scale can occur in different colours.Although scale is
harmless, too much scale can influence the performance of your kettle.
Please follow the instructions for descaling the kettle given in this leaflet.
3100 watts kettle:This Philips rapid boil kettle can draw up to 13 amps from
the power supply in your home. Make sure that the electrical system in
your home and the circuit to which the kettle is connected can cope with
this level of power consumption. Do not let too many other appliances
draw power from the same circuit while the kettle is being used.
Keep the kettle and the cord out of the reach of children.
Excess cord can be stored in or around the base of the kettle.
Boiling water can cause serious burns. Please take care when the kettle
contains hot water.
Directly removing the lid after brewing can cause hot steam coming out
of the kettle.
Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
If your kettle is damaged in any way, please contact a service centre
authorised by Philips. Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself.
Boil-dry protection
The heating element of your kettle is protected by a safety cut-out device.This
device will automatically switch the kettle off if it is accidentally switched on
without any water or with insufficient water.The on/off switch will stay in the 'I'
position and the pilot light, if available, will stay on. Please switch the kettle off
and wait 10 minutes for the kettle to cool down.Then lift the kettle from its
base to reset the boil-dry protection.The kettle is ready for use again.

Regular descaling will prolong the life of the kettle.
In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), the following descaling frequency is
recommended:

Fill the kettle with clean water and boil the water.

Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the kettle.
Cleaning the filter
Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste.
The scale filter prevents scale particles from ending up in your drink. Models
with a double-action filter and triple-action filter have also been equipped with
a mesh that attracts scale from the water. Clean the scale filter regularly.
The mesh of filters is to be cleaned by squeezing and rotating it under a
running tap.
The triple-action filter can be cleaned as follows:
1) Remove the basket from the filter by sliding it.
2) Take the stainless steel mesh out of the basket and clean it by squeezing and
rotating it under a running tap (fig. 1-3).
All filters can be cleaned by:
- leaving it in the kettle during descaling the whole appliance
- gently brushing the filter with a soft nylon brush under a running tab
- in the dishwasher.
