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 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.
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 or around the base of the appliance.
Never fill the kettle below the minimum level to prevent the kettle from
boiling dry.
HD4675 only: this rapid boil kettle has a power of 3100 watts and 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.
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 and the pilot light, if available,
will stay on. Set the on/off switch to 'O' and let the kettle cool down for 10 minutes.
Then lift the kettle from its base to reset the boil-dry protection (HD4675 and
HD4674 only). The kettle is ready for use again.
Before first use
.
Remove stickers, if any, from the base or kettle.
Place the base on a dry, stable and flat surface.
Adjust the length of the cord by winding it round the reel in the base. Pass the
cord through one of the slots in the base (fig. 2).
Before using the kettle for the first time:
1 Rinse the kettle with water.
2 Fill the kettle with water up to the maximum level and let it boil once (see
'Using the appliance').
3 Pour out the hot water and rinse the kettle once more.

(fig. 3).
2 Close the lid.
Make sure that the lid is properly closed to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
3 Place the kettle on its base, put the plug in the wall socket and set the on/off
switch to 'I' (fig. 4).
The kettle starts heating up.
The kettle switches off ('O' position) automatically when the water has
reached boiling point.
You can interrupt the boiling process by setting the on/off switch to 'O'.
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
1 Clean the outside of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth moistened with warm
water and some mild cleaning agent.
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. Clean the scale filter
regularly.
2 The filter can be cleaned:
by taking it out of the kettle and gently brushing the filter with a soft nylon
brush under a running tap, or .. (fig. 5).
by leaving it in the kettle when descaling the whole appliance, or ...
in the dishwasher.
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).
1 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.
