Philips HD4686 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

- 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 cord, the base and the kettle away from hot surfaces.
- Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug, 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.
- Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water or any other
liquid.
- The kettle is only intended for heating water. Do not use it to heat up
soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
- Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the kettle
contains hot water.
- 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 make sure the water in the kettle at least covers the bottom
of the kettle 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 chapter 'Descaling'.
