Electricity consumption is reduced if only the required amount of water is boiled in the electric kettle, and not the maximum possible amount. On the other hand, boiling less water than the amount specified for the particular kettle can cause the appliance to overheat, potentially resulting in damaging or even short-circuiting it.
If the kettle has temperature control modes, the degree of water heating must be selected according to the particular beverage. Most electric kettles have different temperature settings for specific drinks such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
Make sure the lid of the electric kettle is closed when boiling. This will prevent unnecessary heat from escaping into the room.
The kettle must be unplugged, when not in use. Leaving a kettle in standby mode consumes energy even when it is not in use. Electric kettles with additional features, for instance, remote water heating, maintaining the desired temperature etc., as well as kettles with a digital display usually have a standby mode. One of the indicators that shows that the kettle is consuming energy in standby mode is the indicator light that stays on after the water has boiled.
