We're supposed to leave them off overnight, for power consumption and security reasons. So every morning, I get that lovely "scanning the world" message. I cope by stopping on the way in to fill the electric hotpot, coming to my desk and turning on the machine, and taking the teapot back to the kitchenette to fill it.
