Frequently Asked Questions - Aluminium Collection HD4690 PHILIPS

How do I descale the kettle?

Fill the kettle with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) or use a descaling solution. Boil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly at least twice.

Can I boil less than the minimum capacity?

Always fill above the minimum mark (usually 0.5 L) to avoid damage from boiling dry.

Does the kettle have a temperature control?

No, this model is a standard kettle that boils water to 100°C and switches off automatically.

Is the base cordless?

Yes, the kettle lifts off the 360° base for convenient pouring and easy handling.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the mesh filter from the spout, rinse under running water, and scrub gently with a soft brush if needed.

What material is the kettle body made of?

Can I use the kettle without the filter?

Is the kettle safe for left-handed use?

Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference.

• Check if the voltage indicated on the base of the kettle corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
• Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
• Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable surface.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of the reach of children. Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop. Excess cord can be stored in the base of the appliance.
• Keep the cord, the base and the appliance away from hot surfaces.
• Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug, the base or the appliance itself is damaged.
• If the mains cord is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water or any other liquid.
  The kettle is only meant for boiling water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
• Boiling 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 boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately after the water has boiled: the steam coming out of the kettle is very hot.
• Avoid touching the body of the kettle, as it gets very hot during use.
• Always lift the kettle by its handle.
• Always make sure the water in the kettle at least covers the bottom of the kettle to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
• 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. Descale your kettle regularly by following the instructions given in the chapter 'Descaling'.

Boil-dry protection

This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. This device will automatically switch the kettle off if it is accidentally switched on when there is no water or not enough water in it. The on/off switch will stay in 'on' position, but the power-on light ring will go out. Set the on/off switch to 'off' and let the kettle cool down for 10 minutes. Then lift the kettle from its base to reset the boil-dry protection. The kettle is now ready for use again.

Before first use

I Remove stickers, if any, from the base or kettle.
2 Place the base on a dry, stable and flat surface.
3 You can adjust the length of the cord by turning the cord winder clockwise to make it shorter or anticlockwise to make it longer (fig. 2).
Before using the kettle for the first time:
4 Rinse the kettle with water.
5 Fill the kettle with water up to the maximum level and let it boil once (see 'Using the appliance').
6 Pour out the hot water and rinse the kettle once more.

Using the appliance

1 Open the lid by pressing the lid release button (fig. 3).
2 Fill the kettle with water (fig. 4).
You can fill the kettle either through the spout or through the open lid.
3 Close the lid.
Make sure that the lid is properly closed to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
4 Place the kettle on its base.
5 Put the plug in the wall socket.
6 Set the on/off switch to 'on' (fig. 5).
The power-on light ring goes on and the kettle starts heating up.
- The kettle switches off automatically when the water has reached boiling point. You will hear a bell and the light ring goes out.

Cleaning and descaling

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning it.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, scourers etc. to clean the kettle.

Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.

Cleaning the kettle

Clean the outside of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth moistened with warm water and some mild cleaning agent.

Cleaning the filter

Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste. The triple-clean anti-scale filter prevents scale particles from ending up in your drink and has a mesh that attracts scale from the water. Clean the anti-scale filter regularly.

ENGLISH8

- The triple-clean anti-scale filter can be cleaned as follows:

I Take the filter out of the kettle (fig. 6).
2 Slide the basket off the filter and take the stainless steel mesh out of the basket (fig. 7).
3 Clean the mesh by squeezing and rotating it under a running tap (fig. 8).
4 Gently clean the filter with a soft nylon brush (fig. 9).

• You can also leave the filter in the kettle when descaling the whole appliance (see 'Descaling the kettle').
• You can also take the filter out of the kettle and clean it in the diswasher.
  5 After cleaning the filter under the tap or in the dishwasher, put it back into the kettle by sliding it behind the brackets (fig. 10).

Descaling the kettle

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:

- Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to 18 dH).

- Once every month for hard water areas (more than 18 dH).

Fill the kettle with water up to three-quarters of the maximum level and bring the water to the boil.
2 After the kettle has switched off, add white vinegar (8% acetic acid) to the maximum level.
3 Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
4 Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly.
5 Fill the kettle with clean water and boil the water.
6 Empty the kettle and rinse it with clean water again.

- Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the kettle.

You can also use an appropriate descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.

Storage

- You can easily store the cord by turning the cord winder in the bottom of the base clockwise (fig. 11).
