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)  
Save energy, only boil what you need  
-
-
Leave the scale filter in the kettle when you descale the whole appliance.  
Clean the scale filter in the dishwasher.  
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).  
Descaling  
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).

Did you know this about your kettle?  
Tip:You can also use an appropriate descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the  
package of the descaler.  
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.  
Storage  
1
To store the mains cord, wind it round the reel in the base (Fig. 2).  
Replacement  
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.  
Energy saving tips and tricks  
Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs  
You can purchase a new filter (order number 4222 459 45328) at your Philips dealer  
or at a Philips service centre.  
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  
Environment  
5% of your power bill is used to run electrical appliances on standby. If a LED  
light is on, your appliance is using energy.  
-
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).  
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.  
Guarantee and service  
Don’t turn up the heating unless you really need to  
If you need information or if you have a problem, please visit the Philips website at  
www.philips.com or contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country  
(you find its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no  
Customer Care Centre in your country, go to your local Philips dealer.  
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.
