SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully remove your product and all documentation from the box. Storing your product in•
its original box helps to protect it while not in use.
The power cord is stored on the underside of the base. For safety reasons, only unwind•
enough of the power cord to reach the outlet and keep the power cord stored underneath
when not in use.
Remove the kettle from the base before fi lling or pouring.•
Use purifi ed or deionized water, when possible, to minimize mineral build-up in the kettle.•
If water drips onto the base, wipe dry before placing the kettle on the base.•
Never touch the interior of the kettle or lid during or immediately following use. The exterior•
body and the handle will remain cool, however touching the stainless steel interior can
result in burns or scalding.
Do not attempt to use the kettle without the lid locked securely in the closed position.•
The kettle turns off automatically when removed from the base.•
Be careful of steam coming from the spout, especially while pouring or if adding water•
immediately after boiling.
Pour slowly and do not over-tilt to avoid the risk of splashing•
The Boil Dry Protection Sensor turns the kettle off automatically when it detects that the•
kettle is empty. If the Boil Dry Protection feature is activated, please allow the kettle to cool
down at least 10 minutes before refi lling.
The kettle is only to be used with the power base provided.•
KETTLE PREPARATION
Preparing your kettle for fi rst time use:
1. Remove the kettle from the base.
2. Press the LID RELEASE and fi ll the kettle with cold water until it reaches the interior MAX
line.
3. Close the lid, place the kettle onto the base and plug the power cord into an outlet.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch into the ON position. The switch will illuminate and remain
on until the water comes to a boil (212°F). Once the water boils, the kettle shuts off
automatically in approximately 20 seconds, the indicator light turns off and the ON/OFF
switch returns to the OFF position.
5. Carefully remove the kettle from the base, discard the water and allow the kettle to cool for
1 minute.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 again to remove any production residue from the interior of the kettle.
7. Unplug the power cord and allow the kettle to cool completely.
NOTE: Do not consume the water used during the preparation process. It should be
discarded immediately. While not harmful, this is the initial cleaning process and the water
may taste unpleasant.
USING YOUR KETTLE
1. Remove the kettle from the base.
2. Press the LID RELEASE and fi ll the kettle with cold water until it reaches the correct
amount between 0.5-liter minimum and 1.5-liter maximum.
3. Close the lid, place the kettle onto the base and plug the power cord into an outlet.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch into the ON position. The switch will illuminate and remain
on until the water comes to a boil (212°F). Once the water boils, the kettle shuts off
automatically in approximately 20 seconds, the indicator light turns off and the ON/OFF
switch returns to the OFF position.
5. Carefully remove the kettle from the base and pour water as needed.
6. Return the kettle to the base.
7. To reheat the water, refi ll if required and repeat steps 3 - 6.
8. Unplug the power cord when done and allow the kettle to cool completely.
BOIL DRY PROTECTION FEATURE
If the kettle is empty or contains less than 0.5-liter of water, the BOIL DRY PROTECTION
SENSOR will activate, and the kettle will shut-off automatically. This protects the kettle from
damage due to overheating.
If this happens, please do the following:
1. Lift the ON/OFF switch into the OFF position, if needed.
2. Unplug the base.
3. Wait at least 10 minutes for the temperature sensor to reset before attempting to use the
kettle.
SHORT POWER-SUPPLY CORD INSTRUCTION
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance;

WARNING!
The sensor reset process is designed to protect the heating
element and extend the life of your kettle. Do not attempt to cool
the kettle faster by fi lling with cold water or by any other method.
Doing so will reduce the life span of the kettle’s heating plate.
Ensure that the switch is not obstructed and the lid is secured on the
kettle. The kettle will not turn off if the switch is obstructed.
IMPORTANT!
You may see some discoloration on the bottom of the stainless steel kettle
interior over time. This is harmless and expected due to the bonding of
the heating element to the kettle fl oor.
Clean the stainless steel kettle interior using Barkeeper's Friend Cleanser
and Polish. Refer to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of this
manual.
DOUBLE WALL ELECTRIC WATER KETTLE
b) The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord;
c) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Always unplug the base from outlet and let kettle cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior Cleaning:
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any abrasive cleansers or scouring•
pads as this will damage or scratch the surface.
Clean the base with a damp cloth.•
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.•
Interior Cleaning:
The interior of the Secura water kettle is made of high quality stainless steel. There is no
plastic in contact with hot water, which provides you with safe daily use. To ensure that your
kettle enjoys a substantially longer life and operates at maximum effi ciency, we do not apply
any coatings, since they can peel off or wear away. Cleaning is something that should be
done regularly. We suggest that owners rely on Bar Keeper's Friend Stainless Steel Cleanser
and Polish to keep the stainless steel interior in top condition. We also recommend the use
of purified or deionized water for the least amount of mineral build-up on the interior.
To remove stubborn spots/marks on the interior, wipe the surface with a slightly dampened•
cloth and a small amount of Bar Keeper's Friend or other mild, non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner (following the instructions on the container). Rinse with water and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.•
Do not open, change or service any parts yourself.•
Removing Mineral Build-Up
Depending on the mineral content (also known as “hardness” ) of the water you use, mineral
build-up may occur on the inside of your kettle. This is normal and for optimal performance,
we recommend removing the mineral build-up. This can be done using the following
decalcifying process:
1. Fill the kettle to the MAX line with equal parts warm water and vinegar (50% white vinegar
and 50% warm water).
2. Replace the lid and place the kettle on its base.
3. Plug the power cord into an outlet and following the kettle’s operating instructions for
boiling water.
4. Once the water boils and the kettle shuts off, allow the kettle to sit for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, carefully empty the kettle and rinse with cool water.
6. If mineral deposits remain, you may repeat steps 1-5 up to two more times to remove as
much of the mineral build-up as possible.

7. After the third time, repeat steps 1-5 using only water to ensure the interior of the kettle is
clean and vinegar-free.
8. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
9. Never attempt to descale the kettle by chipping or scraping with a sharp implement.
If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide, the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to repair
assistance.
