Boil-dry protection
This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection: it switches off automatically if
you accidentally switch it on with no or not enough water in it. Let the kettle
cool down for 10 minutes and then lift the kettle off its base. Then the kettle
is ready for use again.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic
fields (EMF).
Heating up water with preset buttons
Different hot drinks require different temperatures to taste their best. With
the preset buttons on the base, you can choose the right temperature for
your favourite hot drink.
Always fill the kettle with at least 0.25l water to make sure that the selected
hot drink reaches the right temperature. The actual temperature may deviate
slightly from the indicated temperature.
- There are 4 buttons that represent different hot drinks:
1 Black tea (100ºC)
2 Green tea (80ºC)
3 Herbal/fruit tea (100ºC)
4 Instant coffee (90ºC).
- While the kettle heats the water to the preset temperature, the light ring
around the selected button pulsates slowly until the water has reached
the preset temperature.
- When the water has reached the preset temperature, you hear a signal.
The light ring around the selected button stops pulsating and lights up
continuously. After 2 minutes, you hear the signal again.
Note: You can select a different type of hot drink by pressing a different button
while the kettle is operating. This is only possible if the temperature of the water
is still below the temperature of the newly pressed button.
Note: You can deactivate the appliance by pressing the selected button again or
by removing the kettle from the base.
Keeping water warm at the preset temperature
You can use the keep-warm function to keep water warm at the preset
temperature for 30 minutes.
To activate the keep-warm function, press the KEEP WARM button after
you have pressed the desired preset button. The light ring around the KEEP
WARM button lights up continuously. When the water has reached the preset
temperature, the light ring around the KEEP WARM button pulsates slowly
for 30 minutes. If you want to cancel the keep-warm function, press the KEEP
WARM button or remove the kettle from the base.
Note: The keep-warm function keeps the water warm for 30 minutes. After this,
you hear a signal and the kettle switches off automatically.
Note: If you press another preset button while the keep-warm function is
activated, you need to reactivate the keep-warm function as well.
Cleaning
- Always unplug the base before you clean it
- Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.
Cleaning the kettle and the base
Clean the outside of the kettle and the base with a moistened soft cloth.
Caution: Do not let the moist cloth come into contact with the cord, the plug and
the connector of the base.
Descaling the kettle
Depending on the water hardness in your area, scale may build up inside the
kettle over time. Scale may affect the performance of the kettle. Descale the
kettle regularly by following the instructions in this user manual.
We recommend the following descaling frequency:
- Once every 3 months for soft water areas (up to 18dH).
- Once every month for hard water areas (more than 18dH).
Use white vinegar (4% acetic acid) in step 6. Rinse the kettle and then boil
twice (steps 10-12) to remove all vinegar.

The kettle does
not heat up the
water or the water
does not reach the
preset temperature.
The kettle has detected a low water level and
therefore heats up the water in two stages. First the
water is heated briefly. After a pause of approx. 20
seconds, the kettle heats the water a second time to
reach the preset temperature accurately.
