When placing the electric kettle on the base, you must also observe whether there are any water stains on the base. If there is water on it, wipe it dry before placing the kettle on, otherwise a short circuit may occur. After each use, the kettle should be unplugged.
4. Pour out all the water after boiling water
After boiling water, we need to pour it into a water bottle or thermos to use for making tea or something later. But when pouring water, we should not pour out all the water in the kettle. It is better to leave some water inside.
The reason is that when the electric kettle has just turned off and the kettle base is still hot, if all the water in the kettle is poured out, it can dry out the thermal relay, affecting the life of the kettle. Therefore, every time we pour water, it is best to leave some water in it, the next time we boil water, pour out the water and clean it before using, this can ensure the life of the kettle, causing the kettle to break down quickly.
5. Rarely clean the electric kettle
We must regularly clean the residue inside the kettle, if not cleaned for a long time, a layer of yellow scales will gradually form inside. When using such a kettle to boil water, it not only affects the quality of the water but can also be harmful to our health. Therefore, cleaning the electric kettle is very necessary.
To remove this residue, pour white vinegar into the kettle and add half a bowl of water. Then turn on the electric kettle to boil the water.
After the water inside has boiled, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then pour out the water inside. At this point, you will see that the layer of residue at the bottom of the kettle has faded a lot. Next, use a clean cloth to wipe it clean and the dirt inside the kettle will be completely removed.
The reason vinegar can remove the dirt inside the electric kettle is because the residue is alkaline, white vinegar contains acid. Neutralizing acid and alkali can remove the residue inside.
