However, many families have misunderstandings when using disinfection cabinets, resulting in poor disinfection results.
This article will provide detailed information on how to properly use the sterilizer to help you ensure the hygiene of your dishes.
1. Cleaning and draining of tableware
Before using the sterilizer, first make sure that the utensils are clean.
After daily meals, dishes and chopsticks should be thoroughly washed with dish soap to ensure that each part is clean and clean.
After washing the dishes, drain the water from the dishes.
There are two ways to do this:
1. Use a clean rag to wipe the water stains off the dishes;
2. Place the cutlery on a shelf inside the sterilizer and allow it to drain well.
If you have a sterilizer with a draining function, you can use this function.
Second, the correct placement of tableware
Place the drained utensils in the sterilizer and arrange them in a regular manner according to the position on the shelf.
Here are some important points to note:
1. Appropriate spacing should be maintained between tableware to facilitate heat transfer;
2. Bowls, plates, cups and other tableware should be placed vertically to avoid overlapping to facilitate ventilation and disinfection as soon as possible;
3. Tableware that is not resistant to high temperature (such as plastic tableware) should be placed in the low-temperature disinfection cabinet of ozone disinfection on the upper layer to avoid damage in the high-temperature disinfection cabinet on the lower level.
3. Cleaning and inspection of the disinfection cabinet
Before using the disinfection cabinet, the surface inside and outside the disinfection cabinet should be cleaned regularly to ensure that it is dust-free and odor-free.
Here are some important points to note:
1. Check whether the light in the disinfection cabinet is working properly and make sure that its power cord is not damaged;
2. Keep the disinfection cabinet dry, and use the ventilation equipment in the cabinet to increase air circulation to avoid bacteria breeding in a humid environment.
Fourth, choose the appropriate disinfection mode
Different disinfection cabinets have different functions and mode options, and common disinfection modes include high-temperature disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection, and steam disinfection.
Before using a sterilizer, it is important to understand the characteristics and scope of application of each mode.
1. For food and tableware, high-temperature disinfection is the most commonly used option;
2. For clothing and bedding, steam sterilization may be more suitable.
5. Rational use of the additional functions of the disinfection cabinet
Modern sterilizers are usually equipped with some additional functions, such as deodorization, drying, etc.
We can choose and utilize these features according to our needs to achieve a more comprehensive cleaning effect.
1. After the disinfection is completed, use the drying function to dry the items for at least 5 minutes to ensure that the sterilized items are not susceptible to contamination when stored;
2. If necessary, you can use the deodorization function of the disinfection cabinet to keep the tableware fresh and odorless.
6. Precautions
1. Do not open the door unless necessary during the disinfection period, so as not to affect the disinfection effect;
2. After the disinfection, if you take it after 10 minutes, the effect is better.
When you open the cabinet door, a small amount of ozone smell escapes, but this concentration is not harmful to human health, so please rest assured.
Summary: The correct use of the disinfection cabinet can not only ensure the hygiene of the tableware, but also prolong the service life of the disinfection cabinet.
