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.
