English

Please note:
Except where specific references are made, these instructions apply to both the Corded Kettle type
HD 4600 and the Cordless Kettle type HD 4601.
Important
• Read these instructions carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before using the
appliance for the first time. Keep these instructions for future reference.
• Before connecting the kettle, check if the voltage indicated on the underside of the appliance
corresponds with the mains voltage in your home.
If this is not the case, contact your dealer and do not use the kettle.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket only.
• The kettle will switch off automatically when the water is boiling. You can switch the kettle
off before boiling manually using the on/off switch.
• After the kettle has switched off automatically (or has been switched off manually) it will
need some time to cool down. After 15-20 secs. the kettle can be switched on again.
• The kettle is protected against damage due to operation with insufficient water by means of a
safety cut-out. This cuts off the power when the heating element gets too hot.
If the kettle ever runs dry while operating, first unplug (type HD 4600) or remove the kettle
from the base unit (type HD 4601).
Then allow to cool down for 15 minutes before refilling with cold water. The safety cut-out
will automatically reset.
• Place the appliance on a stable flat surface.
Do not place it on a hot surface.
• Ensure that the base unit and/or the kettle cannot fall into water and that no water can be
splashed onto the appliance.
• Never immerse the appliance in water. Do not allow water to penetrate the electrical parts
inside the kettle or the base unit.
• Ensure that the drain holes in the underside of the kettle do not become blocked.
• If the kettle is tipped too far backwards, water may be spilt through the rear cover. If this
happens the kettle will still be electrically safe. Extra care must be taken if the kettle contains
hot or boiling water.
• WARNING: If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected from the
spout.
• Prevent children from pulling the mains cord or knocking the kettle over.
• The appliance may be cleaned with a damp cloth. First remove the mains plug from the wall
socket.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the kettle if hot.
• Pour away the very first water boiled with this kettle. The appliance is then ready for use.
Type HD 4600:
• If the supply cordset is damaged the replacement cord, appliance plug and mains plug must
be rated at 10 A / 250 V.
Type HD 4601:
• Use the kettle only with the supplied base unit. Do not use the base unit for other purposes.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their
service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.
