Philips Aluminium Collection Bouilloire - Manual (Page 7)

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 will build 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’.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled

Boil-dry protection
This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. This device will automatically switch the kettle off if
it is accidentally switched on when there is no water or not enough water in it. The on/off switch
will stay in ‘on’ position, but the power-on light ring will go out. 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.
