<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > preface:</h1>
Home appliances as the majority of the expenditure of home improvement, many friends in the beginning of the buyer of electricity will be a variety of comparison models and prices, and strive to buy the most suitable home appliances. However, after the home appliance is bought, it is no longer maintained, and as a result, after several years of improper maintenance, the performance is degraded or directly damaged.
Therefore, if you want all kinds of home appliances to better serve you, in addition to the need to carefully select home appliances when purchasing, you must maintain the equipment on time after buying back. This article divides the home appliances I use into three categories, and gives you an inventory of the post-maintenance that each home appliance needs to carry out.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" >:</h1>
1. Water purifier:
Pre-filter:
Many people think that the pre-filter has no effect, but should directly install a large blue bottle similar PP cotton filter core, but if the later home is necessary to install a water purifier, personally suggest that the role of the pre-filter is actually greater. Because the first filter element of the water purifier is generally PP cotton, it is not necessary to install a PP cotton in order to extend the life of PP cotton.
The front filter does not need to be replaced regularly, but it needs to be rinsed regularly, saving a lot of costs, no matter what brand of front flushing is basically through a thin pipe, can be directly connected to the water, the only difference is that part of the front can rotate the filter element left and right to make the filter element rinse cleaner.
RO Water Purifier:
At present, my home RO water purification is a reverse osmosis water purifier, and the biggest feature compared with my previous old model is that there is no bulky water storage bucket, which can save more space under the basin.
The maintenance of the RO water purifier is actually very simple, nothing more than to replace the filter element regularly, and the expiration prompt of the filter element is generally in two ways, one is the light prompt on the main body of the water purifier, and the upgraded version is that there is also a prompt light on this faucet. The second is the APP reminder, my RO water purification is the old model I heard that the new Janet can connect to the Mijia APP to use the Mijia APP for reminder.
In fact, as long as it is an RO water purifier, then the replacement of the filter element is also relatively regular, most of the RO water purification is divided into three filter elements, the first filter element is generally PP cotton use cycle of about one year, the second filter element is generally THE RO membrane filter life cycle of about three years, the third filter element is generally activated carbon filter use cycle is also about one year.
As for the replacement of the filter element, it is now very simple, and we only need to replace it ourselves. First close the inlet ball valve, turn on the faucet to relieve pressure, then turn off the power, and finally remove the old filter element.
Then install a new filter element, tighten the cover plate back to the machine, reset the filter life, do not replace the filter element without replacing the filter life.
Finally, open the inlet valve and faucet and flush the newly installed faucet.
2. Garbage disposer:
(1) Daily maintenance:
Because the garbage disposer is designed without blades, it usually does not need to do too much maintenance, as long as you pay attention to the following two points.
First, do not add corrosive cleaners at will, otherwise the stainless steel cutterhead is prone to rust. (Usually the dishwashing detergent is nothing, not to keep it for a long time)
The second is to boil the water and then start the machine after each use, wait for a few seconds after the treatment, and then turn off the machine and then turn off the water.
(2) Monthly maintenance:
Deodorization: Lemon slices or ice cubes can be regularly lit with a garbage disposer to help remove residual fine garbage and prevent odors.
Cleaning: After regular meal washing and mixing with water, turning on the garbage disposer can produce a large stream of foam, which is very beneficial for cleaning the residue of the water wall.
3. Smoke machine stove:
My family uses an integrated stove, but it doesn't make much difference to clean up. In daily use, we should pay attention to the timely cleaning of oil stains on the countertops, smoke machines, panels and other places after each use, and the cleaning method that is easier to use personally is kitchen paper.
No matter what kind of hood is generally oil box, in the normal frequency of use of about a month or so need to pour the oil box and simple cleaning, integrated stove oil box is generally at the bottom of the machine, and the ordinary hood oil box is generally in the upper part of the machine.
In addition to cleaning the oil box every month, the hood of the hood is best cleaned once, I am more lazy to throw it directly into the dishwasher to clean, the effect is still good. Later, I will write about the self-formulating solvent that is better for oil removal.
Note that the fire cover also needs to be taken down to clean up, because long-term cooking will lead to carbon and dirt, it must be cleaned, directly washed with water, but need to be dried before use.
(3) Annual maintenance:
If the frequency of use of the hood is high, it is recommended to find someone to clean up once a year, so as to ensure the service life and effect of the hood, and the car regular maintenance of a reason. Because it is an integrated stove, I sent a free machine cleaning every year for the first three years.
Mainly to clean the oil on the impeller of the hood condensed oil, if the impeller is too much oil, it will lead to a slow smoke exhaust speed, so as not to achieve the desired smoke exhaust effect.
4、 Refrigerator:
Generally speaking, the current refrigerator does not need much maintenance, because this refrigerator is automatically defrosted, so it is necessary to consider the odor problem after putting a lot of things.
Personal recommendation is that you can put the skin in the refrigerator after eating oranges, grapefruit, etc., or put a roll of toilet paper directly into it.
(2) Quarterly maintenance:
Shelf cleaning:
Although the refrigerator can be automatically defrosted, but because of the daily will put a variety of items, so it is necessary to clean the shelves regularly, all the shelves of this refrigerator can be removed and cleaned. However, one thing to note is that the shelves in the freezing area should not be directly put into the water to clean to prevent the temperature difference from damaging the shelves.
Seal cleaning:
In the same way, after a long time, the refrigerator seal will inevitably stick to some other items, so when cleaning the shelf, you can scrub the refrigerator seal. Try not to use detergent, warm water can wipe it clean.
5. Steaming box
After each use of the steam box, you can wait for the machine to be cold and use a sponge to clean and dry the cavity and heating plate, while the lid is opened for ventilation as much as possible. If the steaming box is dirty, you can squeeze in some water with a sponge to clean it.
The water tank should be taken out after each use and the water should be poured out, so as to avoid the growth of bacteria and odors for too long, and try to use pure water to pour into the tank.
Every month, you can pour the steam box descaling agent or white vinegar into the heating plate, use any function to heat for 20 minutes and then turn off the function, and after cooling, the sewage in the steam box is absorbed with a sponge.
At the same time, the cavity, the upper cover and the heating plate can be cleaned together, and care should not be used to clean with a tool that is easy to cause damage such as a steel wire ball, and a neutral cleaning agent can be used and dried after cleaning.
6. Oven:
Because the most difficult thing to clean the oven is the oil stains left on the inner wall of the oven after each baking, etc., so when I first bought the oven, I deliberately chose the oven with a high-temperature self-cleaning function, and there is a cleaning function in the machine program, which can directly clean the inside of the oven.
As for the rest of the oven, we can wipe it with warm soapy water, but be careful not to wipe the frosted self-cleaning material on the four walls of the oven and the back plate.
7、 Dishwasher:
After washing the dishes in the dishwasher, be sure to open the cabinet door to dry for a period of time after taking out the dishes, because the internal temperature of the dishwasher is particularly high after use, and a lot of water vapor will be generated, so it is necessary to open the door for ventilation, so as to keep the interior of the dishwasher clean.
There are three lights on the dishwasher, namely water supply pipes, special salts and brighteners.
What we need to observe most is the dishwashing salt, because the dishwashing salt must be added, because the dishwasher relies on the dishwashing salt to soften the water, so as not to produce scale to ensure that the dishwasher works properly.
Adding salt is the need to put a lid on the bottom of the dishwasher unscrewed, and then use a funnel to add salt, the first time you need to add 1L of water at the same time, after adding salt there is no need to add water.
Detergent is best to use every time you wash dishes, you can use dishwashing powder or dishwashing block to choose one, washing dishes is more convenient to wash dishes one piece at a time, washing powder is much cheaper every time you need to estimate the amount of addition. (In fact, if the oil and water are not large, it is also washed clean by water pressure alone)
Finally, there is the bright dish agent, adding the bright dish agent can ensure that the washed ceramics and glassware are more transparent, but I generally do not add the bright dish agent, and there is not much change in the cleanliness of the dishes, mainly to increase the aesthetics. (On the right is the mouth of the cleaning agent, and on the left is the mouth of the bright saucer)
Filter cleaning:
There is a filter at the bottom of the dishwasher, and although we pre-rinse every time we wash the dishes, there will still be food debris that has been intercepted inside, which needs to be cleaned regularly or bacteria will breed for a long time.
Spray arm cleaning:
The spray arm also needs to be removed and cleaned regularly, but I still have a clean water spray arm because of the pre-filter. The bottom spray arm can be directly pulled out, the middle water spray arm has a hat screwed down, and must be installed in place when it is installed back.
(3) Quarterly maintenance
Body Cleaners:
The body of the dishwasher also needs to be cleaned regularly, for the dishwasher cleaning there is a special body cleaner, the use of the method is also very simple, directly tear open the sticker on the lid, open the cleaning program on the good (do not unscrew the lid).
8. Gas water heater:
In fact, the daily maintenance of the gas water heater is very simple, that is, the main part of the water heater can be wiped with a damp cloth on a regular basis, and if it is difficult to clean, it can be wiped with a neutral detergent. Never brush with plenty of water, as gas water heaters are not waterproof.
(2) Annual maintenance:
When the hot water discharge is not smooth or the water temperature is unstable, it is likely that the filter in the inlet joint is blocked, and the filter must be cleaned at this time.
First close the water heater and the inlet valve of the water heater, and then turn on the hot water faucet.
There is a drain plug in the lower right corner of the gas, and when the drain plug is opened, the residual water in the machine will flow out of the drain plug position. (Followed by a basin)
Remove the filter from the drain plug and wash it, using a toothbrush or small brush instead of using a detergent.
This is the liner between the drain plug and the filter, don't lose it.
After the drain valve is returned as it is, close the outlet valve and open the inlet valve to ensure that there is no water leakage around the drain plug.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" >2</h1>
1. Sweeping and dragging robot:
After each use of the mopping function, the mop cloth should be removed from the mop module in time, and cleaned and dried in time to prevent odor and bacteria.
At the same time, the water in the tank should also be poured out in time and simply rinsed.
(2) Weekly maintenance:
Dust box cleaning:
Lift the upper cover of the sweeping robot, press and hold the clip of the dust box to remove the dust box upwards, careful not to let the garbage fall from the dust inlet.
Open the dust box lid from the arrow position of the dust box to pour out the garbage in the dust box, because the dust is more and lighter, it is best to pour it obliquely.
Remove the strainer under the dust box and clean it with the dust box in the faucet, taking care not to use detergent.
Finally, the dust box and filter are thoroughly dried and then returned to the machine for use. (The machine is generally equipped with two filters that can be used interchangeably)
Main brush cleaning:
Flip the sweeping robot and press down on the snap to remove the main brush cover.
Remove the main brush upwards, pull out the bearings of the main brush and the main brush cover, and clean the main brush bearing and the main brush cover.
Use the kit on the top of the sweeping robot to clean the winding hair of the main brush of the sweeping robot and the bearings of the main brush.
Finally, the main brush cover and the main brush bearing are installed in the direction of the locking sign, and the main brush is installed back into the sweeping robot to press the fixed buckle of the main brush cover.
(3) Monthly maintenance:
Charging cradle cleaning:
The charging shrapnel on the charging cradle needs to be wiped regularly with a dry cloth to prevent excessive dust from causing poor contact.
Side brush cleaning:
The removal and installation of the side brush is very simple, and the fixing screw at the bottom can be directly removed with a screwdriver, and the fixing screw can be locked directly when it is installed.
There is a small detail that is very good, that is, there is also a small brush around the bearing of the side brush, so that it is difficult for debris to enter the bearing of the side brush.
The cleaning of the side brush is also very important, mainly to clean the hair and dust on the brush head of the brush, it is recommended to replace the side brush once every 3-6 months.
Cardan wheel cleanup:
The disassembly of the universal wheel is relatively simple, and the cardan wheel of the sweeping robot can be directly pulled out after the sweeper is flipped over.
After cleaning up the various entanglements on the universal wheel and the axle, the universal wheel can be reinstalled and pressed.
Filter element components:
There are two filter element components under the water tank of the sweeping robot, mainly to filter various impurities in the water, and this component is best replaced once every 3 months or so.
The replacement method is also very simple, after pinching the filter element assembly with your finger, you can directly remove the old filter element and then load the new filter element assembly.
2. Handheld vacuum cleaner:
Handheld vacuum cleaner cleaning is relatively simple, whether it is Dyson, plus or minus zero or Jingzao, millet, their cleaning method is basically to clean the dust box, most of the brand of filter elements can be disassembled and washed, but the washing part of the how different, pay attention to each cleaning must be dried before use.
3. Washing machine:
(1) Daily cleaning:
The washing machine should not close the washing machine door directly after each use, because the drainage of the washing machine can only drain the water in the drum, and there is no way to do anything about the sealing ring (which has a drain hole but cannot be completely drained) and the water in the material box.
So it's best to open the door and box of the washing machine every time you wash your clothes, so that you can dry and keep it dry, or dry it faster and lazy every time I didn't say.
(2) Monthly cleanup:
There is a bucket cleaning function on the washing machine, which can be cleaned every month using the bucket cleaning function, and can be cleaned once every three months with a special cleaning agent for the washing machine to ensure that the barrel in the drum washing machine is clean.
At the same time, you can use a wet rag for a simple wipe every month, remember that no matter what the exterior of the appliance is painted, so try not to use detergent to prevent damage to the paint surface, anyway, the outside of the appliance will not be too dirty generally just dust.
(3) Quarterly cleanup:
The drainage pump of the machine is cleaned every three months, generally in the lower right corner of the machine, and the filter can be pulled out after opening the lid for cleaning. (When performing this step, the washing machine must be turned off and powered off in order to be safe)
First, when the lid is opened, you can see the pump rotary hatch and a water pipe for drainage.
The first thing we have to do is to pull out the plug of the water pipe, and then drain the accumulated water, be sure to use the basin to follow this water may be dirty.
The next step is to unscrew out the drainage pump hatch, although we have drained the accumulated water before, but there will definitely be a lot of water flowing out when we unscrew the hatch, so be sure to pad a rag underneath.
Finally, after cleaning, first plug the plug of the drain pipe back, and be sure to pay attention to the plug that must be stuffed in place, otherwise it will leak when the washing machine starts.
Finally, the drainage pump hatch is installed back and the lid is covered, so that the cleaning of the drainage pump is completed. (The hatch must be tightened, and the rear handle should be perpendicular to the ground)
In order to prevent the laundry detergent from being used effectively and directly washed away the next time you wash it, it is best to inject one liter of water into the laundry detergent box after each cleaning of the drainage pump, and choose a single dehydration program.
In addition to the drainage pump outer material box also needs to be pumped out for cleaning, there is a button in the middle of the drawer, after pressing, the entire box can be pulled out for cleaning, and the box silo can also be simply wiped down.
This is the box silo, which can be scrubbed with cotton balls.
The siphon laundry detergent cartridge can also be taken apart and cleaned separately, and when installed back, you should pay attention to the siphon cover tightly.
Finally, the water purification outlet filter of the washing machine is best cleaned regularly, because I have a front filter, and the washing machine is not convenient to drag out here and will not show it to everyone.
4. Dryer:
Fluff collector:
After each use of the dryer, the dryer door is opened to clean the fluff collector.
Pull out the double-layer villus collector from under the door and clean the pile from the collector's mounting slot to ensure that no fluff remains.
After pulling the double-layer villus collector apart, open the two layers of the villous collector's filter separately to remove all the villi. (Generally remove by hand, wash with water once a week or so)
After cleaning, install the double-layer fluff collector in place and reinsert it into the dryer machine. (Fluff collector must be installed to use the dryer)
Sensor Cleanup:
In the dryer, there is a stainless steel humidity sensor, which is mainly used to measure the humidity of the clothes, so as to automatically adjust the drying effect.
Therefore, when the dryer is used, it is necessary to clean the humidity sensor with a sponge or rag for about a month.
Filter cleaning:
Dryers without drains need to clean the filter in the condensate cartridge regularly, and remove the filter directly from the condensate cartridge after pouring out the condensate.
After rinsing the filter with warm water, push the filter directly back into the condensate box and lock the lid in place.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > third, other appliances</h1>
1. Air purifier:
Daily maintenance:
The daily maintenance of the air purifier is the sensor part, as long as the sensor part is cleaned regularly, the normal operation of the air purifier can be ensured.
Filter maintenance:
The air purifier I use, the primary filter is changed once a year, during which it can be washed twice, the high-efficiency aldehyde removal filter element (orange) is changed about once every six months, and the high-efficiency HEPA filter element (blue) is changed about once a year In fact, no matter what brand of air purifier filter the law of replacement is the same.
To put it bluntly, the primary filter element can be washed once a year, the activated carbon filter element is replaced according to the CCM value and the time environment at home, and the HEPA filter element is mainly for PM2.5.
2. Fresh fan:
The principle of the fresh air blower is somewhat similar to the air purifier, the only difference is that the fresh air is to make the air coming in clean, and the air purifier is to make the air that already exists in the home clean.
3, Humidifier:
In fact, the maintenance of the humidifier is relatively simple, only need to empty the water in the tank every week, simply brush the water tank, to ensure that the water tank does not breed bacteria or odors.

Printer maintenance is actually the most important part of the nozzle, as long as the nozzle part is not blocked, generally speaking, there will be no problem, now most of the printers have a nozzle maintenance function, in fact, the various colors are printed again.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > summary:</h1>
No matter what kind of home appliances, even if the purchase is careful in the early stage, if the maintenance and maintenance are not carried out in the later stage, then the performance and life of this appliance will be greatly reduced. The maintenance of various home appliances in this article only lists the more general maintenance methods, and the main role is to tell everyone the importance of later maintenance, but because of the difference in each person's electrical style, there may be some differences that need to be paid attention to by themselves.
