1. Do not tightly cover the lid while boiling water
This is a common mistake that many people often make when using a super fast kettle. It not only prolongs the boiling time but also wastes electrical energy.
Additionally, not sealing the lid tightly can prevent the kettle from automatically shutting off when the water boils. If the water continues to boil without being turned off, it will boil until it evaporates, leading to the risk of damaging the kettle or even causing explosions.
2. Avoid plugging the super fast kettle into the same power outlet as other electrical devices
The super fast kettle is equipped with a relatively high power capacity. Therefore, you should not use it on the same power outlet as other high-power devices such as rice cookers, electric stoves, washing machines, irons, etc. This can lead to overload, automatic power cutoff, and, more dangerously, explosions.
To ensure safety when using a rapid boiling kettle, always plug it into a dedicated power outlet.
3. Adding too much or too little water to the kettle
Each rapid boiling kettle has water level markings, but many people overlook them and pour water according to their needs. This not only reduces the kettle's lifespan but also poses safety risks.
Specifically, pouring more water than allowed (marked Max on the kettle) will cause water to overflow when boiling, flowing into internal components and causing short circuits, fires, or explosions. If the water level is below the minimum mark (marked Min on the kettle), the kettle will not automatically turn off when boiling, posing a fire hazard.
4. Boiling water continuously
Many people believe that continuously boiling water saves electricity and time because the kettle is already hot. However, in reality, boiling water continuously not only fails to reduce energy consumption but can also overload the kettle's heating element, leading to fires or explosions.
Ideally, allow the rapid boiling kettle to rest for a certain period between uses to cool down before continuing to use it.
5. Leaving excess water in the kettle
Leaving excess water in the kettle after use is a common mistake many people make. Storing excess water in the rapid boiling kettle leads to lime scale buildup, rust, reduced heat exchange capabilities, prolonged boiling time, premature automatic shutoff, and ultimately, device failure.
6. Using the rapid boiling kettle to cook food
The rapid boiling kettle is designed solely for boiling water, yet many people use it to boil eggs, vegetables, noodles, cook meat, etc. This should be avoided as it causes residue buildup, reduces lifespan, and quickly damages the kettle, posing a significant electrical hazard.
7. Boiling water in a room with a fan/air conditioner
This action can lead to heat loss for both the rapid boiling kettle and the air conditioner.
Rapid boiling kettles operating in air-conditioned rooms or in front of fan airflow consume more electricity. Consequently, both the rapid boiling kettle and the air conditioner experience heat loss.
8. Pulling the plug by grasping the cord
When unplugging the rapid boiling kettle from the power outlet, grasp it by the plug head. Pulling the cord can lead to breakage, electrical leaks, and an increased risk of electric shock.
9. Infrequent cleaning of the rapid boiling kettle
Using the rapid boiling kettle for an extended period can lead to dirt and residue buildup, hindering its heat exchange capabilities. Additionally, failure to clean it regularly can affect water quality, which is detrimental to user health.
Therefore, it's essential to clean the rapid boiling kettle regularly to prolong its lifespan, ensure efficient operation, and save energy.
When cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth to wipe the inside of the kettle to avoid scratching the enamel coating.
The above are absolute things you shouldn't do to ensure the longevity of using the rapid boiling kettle. Mytour hopes the information provided will help you understand how to use the rapid boiling kettle correctly and safely.
