The weather is cold and dry in winter,
Residents' use of fire, electricity, and gas has increased,
Prone to fire safety hazards,
The number of unsafe factors that cause fires has increased.
Electric heaters, electric blankets, hand warmers......
All kinds of heating equipment
While bringing warmth,
Hidden safety hazards also need to be paid attention to.
electric blanket
Beware of electric shocks and starting fires
Do not use for long periods of time
When using an electric blanket, be sure to preheat it before unplugging it. Don't turn on the power for too long, and turn off the power when you go to bed. Excessive temperatures are not only a safety hazard, but also reduce the quality of sleep.
Avoid getting wet
If it gets wet, it is easy to cause electric shock.
Do not fold
It is easy to cause damage to the internal wires when folded for a long time, and it is easy to leak electricity when used.
Regular inspections and replacements
Even if the electric blanket is of good quality, it cannot be used for a long time. Electric blankets that have been used for several years will also be damaged and prone to danger. The average service life of household electric blankets is 6 years.
Electric heating
Beware of starting a fire
Do not touch open flames
When using electric heaters for heating, be sure to keep them away from open flames. Also, do not use air fresheners, toilet water, etc. in the vicinity to avoid the risk of explosion.
Keep away from flammable materials
When using, the body temperature is generally high, and it is necessary to stay away from flammable materials for more than 1 meter, especially the clothes, bedding and paper items at home should not be placed next to them.
Occlusion cannot be overridden
The surface of the electric heater should not cover the clothes during use, otherwise it is easy to cause fire.
Repair oil leakage and abnormal noise in time
During use, if there is oil leakage, abnormal noise, etc., stop using, do not disassemble it by yourself, and find a professional to repair it.
Warm Treasure
Watch out for burns and explosions
Try to choose a heating wire heating style
Hand warmers on the market are generally divided into electrode heating and heating wire heating, and try to choose the latter when purchasing. The internal liquid of the electrode charging is electrified, and it is easy to leak if the seal is poor, and the heating wire is relatively safe. If you can see a heater with an obvious arc, it is mostly a heating wire type hand warmer.
Do not use for long periods of time
Whether it is an electrode heating or a heating wire heating style, do not use it for a long time to avoid the risk of burning the skin.
Do not use while charging
During the use of the hand warmer, it is forbidden to use it while charging to prevent the risk of explosion.
Do not place hand warmers in the bedding
Try not to use the hand warmer when resting at night, and do not put the hand warmer in the bedding to avoid burns and accidents.
Pay attention to the age of use
It is necessary to always check whether the power supply line is damaged, whether there is heating during the charging process, and the hand warmers that exceed the service life should be eliminated to eliminate potential safety hazards.
Warm paste
Beware of low-temperature burns
Avoid prolonged use
When the human body is exposed to a temperature higher than 45 °C for a long time, the sensory nerve endings of the skin gradually adapt, will not cause pain reaction, and it is very easy to cause deep burns after long-term use.
Do not use it while sleeping
Although the pain of low-temperature scalding is not obvious, the depth of injury is large, and the skin may appear red, swollen, blistered, peeling, and whitish. Especially the elderly, diabetics and other groups that are not sensitive to temperature. So do not use it while sleeping to avoid burns.
Do not use directly on the skin
Do not come into direct contact with the skin, use it with a layer of fabric on your clothes and pants, and avoid the weak skin on the inside of your hands and legs.
