Hello everyone, I'm Xiaojun. Today I would like to share with you some important things to pay attention to when using an electric kettle in your life. Electric kettles are very common in our lives, and almost every household will use it to boil water, providing it for our convenience. However, there are some tips and precautions that we need to know in the process of buying a kettle and using a kettle. Let's learn Xi together!
First of all, many friends may choose to buy some kettles with lower prices or lower quality in order to pursue cheapness when buying kettles. However, we need to know that using such an inferior kettle is harmful to our body. Because the material used in some inferior kettles usually does not meet the standard 304 stainless steel, its corrosion performance is poor. In the process of boiling hot water, such a kettle is prone to release some heavy metals, which poses a potential threat to our body. Therefore, when buying a kettle, it is important to look for the 304 mark, which is a sign that meets the national standards, so that we can buy with confidence. Even if the price is higher, don't choose an inferior product because of a few bucks, such a choice can cause potential harm to our body.
Secondly, if you use an electric kettle for a long time, it is easy to produce thick limescale inside. Many friends don't know how to clean limescale thoroughly, but it's not complicated. We just need to pour an appropriate amount of water into the kettle, then add some baking soda, and finally pour in some white vinegar. Then, plug it in and let it boil for a while so that the white vinegar and baking soda will have a chemical reaction, producing chemicals that can quickly clean up limescale and give our kettle a new look.
Third, when boiling water, you must operate the switch sequence correctly, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the electric kettle. When many friends use the kettle, they often press the switch first and then plug it in. Such an operation will cause a strong current to hit the main board of the kettle base, which can easily cause damage. The correct way to do this is to first pour water into the kettle, then plug it into the socket, and finally press the switch. Only in this way can we ensure that the electric kettle lasts longer.
Fourth, when boiling water for the kettle, remember not to overfill it, so as not to overflow during the boiling process, resulting in damage to the kettle. Proper water top-up ensures safe use.
Fifth, when using an electric kettle to boil water, be sure to keep it out of the reach of children. Due to the high temperature generated during the boiling process, if the child accidentally touches the kettle, it is easy to cause burns. Similarly, accidentally touching a kettle while boiling water can also cause water to splash out, causing burns, so be sure to be vigilant.
Sixth, don't put the electric kettle on the refrigerator when boiling water. In order to save space, some people will put the electric kettle directly on the refrigerator and do not remove it even when the water is boiling. This operation is unsafe, because high temperatures will be generated when boiling water, and the refrigerator will heat up during the refrigeration process, which can easily cause the temperature of the refrigerator to rise and shorten the life of the refrigerator. In addition, if the water overflows while boiling water, it may also cause a short circuit and damage to the refrigerator, which is a great safety hazard.
Well, the above are some of the things we need to pay attention to when using an electric kettle. Hope it helps. After learning these tips, you can share them with your family and friends to benefit more people. Thank you, I'm Xiaojun, we'll see you next time!
