Pay attention to the highest water level
The water injection shall not exceed the maximum water level to prevent the liquid from overflowing out of the pot when boiling. Water injection should not be too little, or it will dry quickly, especially for the electric kettle with whistle, at least make the water immersed in the heating pipe for more than 20 mm, or the heating pipe will be easily exposed to the water surface and burned. In addition, it should be noted that do not connect the power supply before filling the water, otherwise it is easy to burn the heater or cause a dangerous accident.
Prevent burning dry
When using the electric kettle, it should be taken care of to avoid dry burning. If no one is looking after the water, the whistle kettle of the infinite temperature controller will always dry the water after it is boiled, and the electric kettle equipped with the automatic reset temperature controller will also dry the water due to repeated heating. If the overtemperature protection function fails again at this time, the fire accident will occur.
Inability to soak
When cleaning, the automatic electric kettle shall not be immersed in water or rinsed with water, so as to avoid damage to the electrical insulation due to humidity, resulting in fault and leakage.
Load water first and then power on
