Hot 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 touch the body of the kettle during and some time after use, as it gets very hot.
Always lift the kettle by its handle.

This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 10 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.

Caution

• CAUTION: Surface of the heating element is subject to residual heat after use.
• CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Do not clean the appliance while hot.
• Use a soft damp cloth to clean the surfaces in contact with water.
• Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable surface.
• When the kettle is broken or crack, stop to use immediately.
• The kettle is only intended for boiling water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
• Never fill the kettle below the minimum level to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
• 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 buildup on the heating element and on the inside of the kettle over time. The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can occur in different colors. 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”.
• Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defects.

Boil-dry protection
This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection.
The boil-dry protection automatically switches off the kettle if it is accidentally switched on when there is no water or not enough water in it. The on/off switch stays in “on” position and the power-on light stays on. Set the on/off switch to “off” and let the kettle cool down for 10 minutes. Then lift it from its base to reset the boil-dry protection. The kettle is now ready for use again.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.
