Philips HD4671 Dépliant

HD4671

Filling your kettle completely to make just one or two cups of 
tea wastes energy. This Philips kettle has a unique 1 cup indicator 
so you can easily see exactly how much water you need. By only 
boiling the cup of water you need you could save up to 66% 
energy, that’s enough to earn your kettle back in a year!*  
If everyone boiled only the amount of water they need, we could 
light the streets of the UK for 7 months! (DEFRA).

* boiling 1 cup vs. 1 litre, 8 times a day

  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 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 approx. 900ml water.

  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).

If the kettle, the base or the mains cord of the appliance 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 filter (order number 4222 459 45328) at your Philips dealer 

or at a Philips service centre.

 - 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).

✔

Boiling some water in the electric kettle to wash a few dishes is more 

energy-efficient than filling the sink with hot tap water.

 

✔

Boiling water in the electric kettle is more efficient than boiling water

on the stove.

 

✔

Boiling cold water in the kettle takes less energy than boiling hot 

water, despite the longer boiling time. You save the energy that would 

otherwise be used to heat up water in your hot water system. 

 

✔

Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs

Energy-efficient light bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard ones and 

use up to 80% less energy at the same time.

 

✔

Do not leave appliances on standby

5% of your power bill is used to run electrical appliances on standby. If a LED 

light is on, your appliance is using energy.

 

✔

Switch off lights in empty rooms 

You could cut your lighting costs by as much as 15% just by making sure you 

turn off lights in rooms and corridors that are not in use.

 

✔

Don’t turn up the heating unless you really need to 

Unless it’s just too cold for comfort, try to keep your thermostat at 19°C. 

Your heating costs go up by 8% each time you increase the temperature by 

just one degree

 

✔

Jazz up your hot water tank with a jacket

Insulate your hot water tank with a jacket. It only costs a few pounds and, 

with all the heat it traps in, it pays for itself within months. Fit one that is 

at least 75mm (3”) thick and you save a great deal of energy. If every UK 

household would be fitted with an adequate tank-jacket tomorrow, we 

would save over £89 million in energy costs every year. 

 

✔

Look for the logo

When you purchase new appliances, always look for the Energy Saving 

Recommended logo. Energy Saving Recommended appliances are the most 

efficient in their category and could save you up to £37 a year. 

 

✔

Keep twice as warm with double glazing 

Double glazing cuts heat loss through windows by 50% and acts as an 

insulator, in the same way as loft and wall cavity insulation, making your 

heating more energy-efficient.
