Read this user manual carefully before you use the 

appliance and save it for future reference.

 - Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water 

or any other liquid.

 - Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance 

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you 

connect the appliance.

 - Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord, 

the base or the appliance itself is damaged.

 - If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it 

replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by 

Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid 

a hazard.

 - This appliance is not intended for use by persons 

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory 

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision 

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a 

person responsible for their safety.

 - Children should be supervised to ensure that they 

do not play with the appliance.

 - Keep the mains cord out of the reach of children. 

Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of 

the table or worktop on which the appliance stands. 

Excess cord can be stored in or around the base of 

the appliance.

 - Keep the mains cord, the base and the kettle away 

from hot surfaces.

 - Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface 

(e.g. a serving tray), as this could cause water to 

accumulate under the appliance, resulting in a 

hazardous situation.

 - Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when 

the kettle contains hot water.

 - 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.

 - 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 heating up or 

boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately 

after the water has boiled: the steam that comes out 

of the kettle is very hot.

 - HD4679: This rapid-boil kettle 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.

 - Only use the kettle in combination with its original 

base.

 - Do not connect the appliance to an external 

switching device such as a timer and do not connect 

it to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by 

the utility. This prevents a hazard that could be caused 

by inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out.

 - Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall 

socket.

 - Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat 

and stable surface. 

 - 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 1-cup level to 

prevent it 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 build-up 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 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 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.

 -  This appliance is intended to be used in household 

and similar applications such as:

1  staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working 

environments;

2  farm houses;

3  by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type 

environments;

4  bed and breakfast type environments.

This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. This 

device automatically switches off the kettle if it is 

accidentally switched on when there is no water or not 

enough water in it. Lift the kettle from its base and fill it 

with water. Then wait for 30 seconds before you place 

the kettle back on its base to reset boil-dry protection. 

The kettle is now ready for use again.

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.

  1 

 Remove stickers, if any, from the base or the kettle.

  2 

Place the base on a dry, flat and stable surface.

  3 

To adjust the length of the cord, wind part of it

round the reel in the base. Pass the cord through

one of the slots in the base. (Fig. 2)

  4 

Rinse the kettle with water.

  5 

Fill the kettle with water up to the maximum level

and let the water boil once (see chapter ‘Using the

appliance’).

  6 

Pour out the hot water and rinse the kettle once

more.
Using the appliance

  1 

Fill the kettle with water. You can fill the kettle

either through the spout or through the open

lid. (Fig. 3)

 - To open the lid, press the lid release button 

(HD4679/HD4677) or use the lid latch 

(HD4676) (Fig. 4).

 - Fill the kettle with at least one cup (250ml) of water. 

 - Close the lid before you switch on the kettle.

  2 

Place the kettle on its base and put the plug in the

wall socket.

the appliance (HD4679/HD4677) or set the on/off

, The kettle starts heating up.

 

, The kettle switches off automatically and you hear

a chime when the water boils.

 

, The power-on light goes out automatically when

the kettle switches off.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or

aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the

appliance.
Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.

  1 

Unplug the appliance.

  2 

Clean the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth

moistened with warm water and some mild

cleaning agent.

  3 

Clean the removable scale filter regularly.

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 in one of the following ways:

 - Take the scale filter out of the kettle and gently clean 

it with a soft nylon brush under a running tap.  (Fig. 6)

 - Leave the scale filter in the kettle when you descale 

the whole appliance.

 - Clean the scale filter in the dishwasher.

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the kettle.

In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), 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).

  1 

Fill the kettle with water up to three quarters of

the MAX level.

  2 

Switch on the kettle.

  3 

After the kettle switches off, add white vinegar (8%

acetic acid) to the MAX indication.

  4 

Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.

  5 

Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly.

  6 

Fill the kettle with fresh water and boil the water.

  7 

Empty the kettle and rinse it with fresh water again.

Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the 

kettle.

  1 

To store the mains cord, wind it round the reel in

the base (Fig. 2).
Replacement

is damaged, take the base or the kettle to a service

centre authorised by Philips for repair or replacement

of the cord to avoid a hazard.
You can purchase a new removable scale filter (order 

number 4222 459 45762) at your Philips dealer or at a

 - Do not throw away the appliance with the normal 

household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in 

at an official collection point for recycling. By doing 

this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 7).
