The "5 misunderstandings" of boiling water in an electric kettle, many people don't know, don't go wrong anymore!
Many people in life will use an electric kettle to boil water, so do you know what problems need to be paid attention to when boiling water in an electric kettle?
There are also "5 misunderstandings" about boiling water in an electric kettle, many people don't know, and today we will also understand it clearly, so don't continue to make mistakes.
01 Boil water many times in a row
When many friends need hot water, they will directly use the electric kettle at home to boil several pots of water in a row, but in fact, this practice is also wrong, and there are certain safety hazards.
After using the electric kettle to boil several pots of water in a row, you will find that the wire of the electric kettle will be hot, which can easily cause the problem of short circuit in the electric kettle, which is also very dangerous.
It is recommended that after using an electric kettle to boil a pot of water, it is best to wait for the electric kettle to cool down before continuing to boil the next pot of water, rather than watering it several times in a row to avoid the problem of short circuit.
02 The water is too full
When some friends use the electric kettle, in order to be able to boil more water, they will directly fill up the water to the top line. But in fact, this approach is also wrong, and there are also safety risks.
The electric kettle we use at home will be marked with a "maximum capacity", but many people ignore this problem when they use it, and fill up the water directly, or even exceed the maximum capacity.
If too much water is added to the electric kettle, then once it boils when the water is boiling, the water in the kettle will overflow directly.
In this way, it is very likely that the base of the kettle will be short-circuited, and it may even cause a fire, so you must pay special attention.
When using the electric kettle to boil water, you must not exceed the maximum capacity marked in the electric kettle, so you must pay attention to it.
03 Put too little water
In addition to the maximum capacity, the electric kettle has a minimum capacity.
It is also dangerous if you put too little water in the heating process or if you are running out of water, and continue to use electricity.
If there is too much water in the electric kettle and the electric heating continues, then it is easy to dry boil, not only the electric kettle will be damaged, but also may cause a short circuit, which is also dangerous.
It should be noted that when using an electric kettle to boil water, the water must not be less than the minimum capacity marked by the electric kettle.
In addition, if the water in the electric kettle is about to run out and the minimum capacity is already lower, do not continue to heat the kettle.
04Add water after powering on
When some friends use the electric kettle, they have already energized the electric kettle before adding water to the kettle, and this practice also has potential safety hazards.
Many people may think that whether it is powered on first or later, they can heat the water normally without any problems, but if the water is not added after the electricity is turned on first, it is easy to cause the problem of dry boiling, which is also very dangerous.
The electric kettle will be in a working state after it is powered on, and if you add water after the electricity is turned on, then the kettle will be in an empty state.
It may only take a few seconds each time, but if there are too many times, it will also cause damage to the electric kettle and shorten the service life of the electric kettle.
If you forget to add water after the electric kettle is turned on, then being in an empty nest state for a long time is likely to cause a short circuit, and even a fire should be extra cautious.
Therefore, every time you use an electric kettle to boil water, you must first add water to the electric kettle, and then turn on the power to turn on the function of boiling water.
05 There are water stains on the bottom of the pot
Many friends will accidentally wet the bottom of the electric kettle when cleaning the electric kettle or adding water to the electric kettle.
In the case of water stains at the bottom of the electric kettle, if it is used with electricity, it is easy to cause the problem of short circuit, and may even be electrocuted, which is very dangerous. You must not ignore it.
Every time you add water to the electric kettle or clean the electric kettle, be sure to wipe the water stains at the bottom of the electric kettle before using it to avoid short circuits.
