Periodically: descale the filter
In the course of time, a build-up of limescale may
occur in the filter gauze, reducing the filling (via
the spout) and pouring performance of the kettle.
Limescale adhered to the bottom will reduce the
heating capacity.
Therefore, the kettle with the filter in place, should
be descaled periodically as indicated in section
"Descaling the kettle".
Replacement filters
Replacement filters can be obtained under type
nr. HD 4963 from your Philips dealer.
Descaling the kettle
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use:
at least twice a year.
- Boil 700 ml of water in the kettle.
- Switch off and unplug from the electrical supply.
- Add 300 ml of ordinary vinegar to the water in
the kettle.
- Leave the solution to stand in the kettle
overnight.
- Empty out the solution into e.g. a jug. Rinse the
inside of the kettle with clean water.
- Fill the kettle with clean water up to the "MAX"
level.
- Boil the water and empty the kettle. Rinse the
inside of the kettle with clean water.
If any scale remains:
- Pour the water & vinegar solution into the kettle
again.
- Reheat the solution until it starts to fizz again.
Then switch off and unplug from the electrical
supply. Do not boil.
- Leave the hot solution in the kettle until the
fizzing stops.
- Empty out the solution into e.g. a jug and rinse
the inside of the kettle thoroughly.
- Fill the kettle with clean water up to the "MAX"
level.
- Boil the water and empty the kettle. Rinse the

For U.K. only:
Fitting a different plug
This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13
Amp. plug.
Should you need to replace the plug, connect
the wires as follows:
Green/yellow wire to the Earth terminal (E)
of the new plug.
Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the
new plug.
Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the
new plug.
Always fit the same value of fuse as that
originally supplied with your appliance.
Only use BS 1362 approved fuses.
As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can
have a 3 Amp. fuse (red) and all others should
have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown).
When disposing of an old plug (particularly the
moulded type which has been cut from the
mains cord) always remove the fuse as the
plug could be dangerous if ever inserted in a
live socket.
