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.

Only use the kettle in combination with its original 

base.

Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when 

the kettle contains hot water.

Keep the mains cord, the base and the kettle away 

from hot surfaces.

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. Be 

careful when you open the lid immediately after the 

water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the 

kettle is very hot.

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.

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. 

HD4646: Always make sure the water in the kettle at 

least covers the bottom of the kettle to prevent the 

kettle from boiling dry.

HD4638/HD4628/HD4626: 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 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 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.

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. The on/off switch stays in ‘on’ position. 

Set the on/off switch to ‘off’ and let the kettle cool down 

for 10 minutes. Then lift the kettle from its base to reset 

the 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.

filter regularly.
