Energy saving hints and tips
A Breville kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efcient device. Why not try some of
these energy saving tips:
• Only boil the water you need. Overlling your kettle by one cup is the equivalent to
using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one litre of water will
still be at 90°C after ve minutes - the perfect temperature for a cup of coffee.
If the kettle boils dry
If the kettle is used without enough water in it, a built in fail-safe device will automatically
switch it off.
• Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has cooled down sufciently
the device will reset itself.
• Once the device has reset, rell the kettle with cold water and use it as normal.
