WARNING!
The sensor reset process isdesigned to protect the heating
element and extend the life of your kettle. Do not attempt to cool
the kettle faster by filling with cold water orby any other method.
Doing so will reduce the life span of the kettle’s heating plate.
IMPORTANT!
You may see some discoloration on the bottom of the stainless steel kettle
interiorover time. Thisisharmless and expected due to the bonding of
the heating element to the kettle floor.
Clean the stainless steel kettle interiorusing Barkeeper's Friend Cleanser
and Polish. Refer to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of this
manual.
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 efficiency, 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 Keepers Friend Stainless Steel Cleaner
& 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 even when using filtered water.
For optimal performance, we recommend removing the mineral build-up. This can be done
using the following decalcifying process:
Add 3.5 cups plain water to the kettle.1.
Replace the lid and place the kettle on its base. Plug the power cord into an outlet and2.
following the kettle’s operating instructions for boiling water.
Once the water boils and the kettle switches off, unplug the power cord from the outlet.3.
Warning: Hot condensation may accumulate in the lid. Use extreme caution when
opening the lid to avoid burns and scalding.
