Thank you for choosing a product from the Philips range. Please read the instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.

Important

▶ Please note that some condensation may occur on the base of your kettle. This is perfectly normal and by no means a manufacturing defect.
▶ Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small spots may appear on the heating element of your kettle (even if you have used it only once). This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up and is perfectly normal. Scale consists of naturally occurring minerals that solidify when water is heated and which slowly deposit over a period of time. This can lead to 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 it may look like rust, it is not because this kettle has a stainless steel element. Although scale is perfectly harmless, it can affect the performance of your kettle if it is left to build up over a longer period of time. Please follow the instructions for descaling the kettle in this instruction booklet.
- Boiling water can cause serious burns. Please take care when the kettle contains hot water.
- Keep the kettle and its cord well out of the reach of children and do not let them play with the appliance. Prevent children from pulling at the mains cord. Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the work surface.
▶ Do not fill the kettle beyond the 'MAX' indication.
- WARNING: If the kettle has been overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water will be ejected from the spout.
This Philips kettle is equipped with a precision boil-control system that will switch the kettle off immediately after the water has reached boiling point.

For type HD4673 only

This Philips rapid boil kettle can draw up to 13 Amps from your power supply. Ensure that your household electrical system can withstand this consumption.
We advise you to refrain from running too many other appliances connected to the same circuit while your kettle is in use.
