PHILCO Philco PW 6 GBI - Portable Electric Kettle, 1.7 L Capacity, 220–240 V

PHILCO PW 6 GBI is a portable electric kettle with a 1.7-litre capacity designed to boil water quickly on standard household mains (220–240 V). The kettle sits on a cordless 360° swivel base that allows easy lifting and placement, and it has a concealed heating element to reduce limescale buildup and simplify cleaning. Built-in automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection turn the appliance off when water reaches boiling point or if the kettle is operated empty, supporting safe everyday use at home, in the office or when travelling within compatible voltage regions.

Advantages

The compact design combines a 1.7 L capacity with a space-saving footprint and a 360° base that suits both left- and right-handed users. A concealed heating element lowers direct scaling on the element and makes the inner surface easier to wipe clean. Safety features include automatic shut-off at boiling and boil-dry protection to prevent damage or overheating. The cordless kettle mechanism allows quick pouring without a power cord attached to the kettle body, improving convenience during pouring and refilling.

Suitable for

• Boiling water for tea, coffee, instant soups and hot beverages at home
• Small office kitchens and staff rooms where fast boiling is required
• Short business trips or travel in regions with 220–240 V mains
• Households that prefer a cordless kettle for easy handling and pouring

How to use

Fill the kettle with cold water up to the desired level, respecting the maximum and minimum markings. Place the kettle on the 360° swivel base and connect the base to a compatible 220–240 V socket. Press the switch to start boiling; the kettle will switch off automatically when water reaches boiling point. If the unit accidentally runs dry, the boil-dry protection will deactivate the heating element to prevent damage. Allow the kettle to cool before removing the lid for cleaning or descaling.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life and maintain performance, descale the kettle periodically according to water hardness in your area, avoid overfilling beyond the maximum mark, and only operate the appliance on the voltage range indicated. For safe handling, lift the kettle from the handle only and place it back on the base before switching on.
