How to use the electric kettle to be safe
Come and learn
1. Use the socket correctly
Power plugs, sockets, power cords, and automatic switching devices should be kept dry and clean.
2. Turn off the switch of the electric kettle before use
Do not connect the power supply before filling it with water, otherwise it is easy to burn out the heater and even cause a fire accident.
3. Be careful not to exceed the maximum water mark
Avoid water spilling out of the pot when boiling, and leakage accidents occur. However, the water should not be too small, otherwise it will dry up quickly.
4. Pay attention to supervision and avoid dry boiling
Boiling the water dry can easily cause the electric kettle to spontaneously combust, which in turn can lead to a fire.
Please standardize the use of electrical appliances
Safe use of electricity
