Using the kettle properly not only protects your health but also maintains the durability of the product.

With its convenience and speed, electric kettles have become useful household appliances in family life.

However, many housewives often ignore safety factors when using, leading to potential risks affecting health as well as making the kettle susceptible to damage.

Accordingly, there are some notes that housewives need to know when using electric kettles to avoid unwanted risks, according to Healthline.

Choose good quality products

Choosing to buy electric kettles from reputable brands, with clear origins and meeting safety standards is an important thing to note. There are many different types of electric kettles on the market today, but not all products meet all safety and quality criteria.

Cheap, low-quality electric kettles are often not guaranteed and can easily cause chemical reactions when exposed to high temperatures, leading to possible poisoning of drinking water. Therefore, you should prioritize choosing kettles with clear certification and made from stainless steel, glass or heat-resistant plastic with safety index.

Do not boil water multiple times.

A common habit in many households today is to boil water repeatedly in a kettle without changing the water. This can cause some harmful effects in the process of boiling over and over again, creating potentially toxic substances such as nitrite.

It is known that Nitrite, when accumulated in the body, will harm the digestive tract and cause other health problems. Therefore, to ensure safety, housewives should only boil enough water for use and avoid boiling water over and over again.

Clean the kettle regularly

Electric kettles often get scale after a period of use, especially when using water containing many minerals. This scale not only reduces the efficiency of the kettle but can also pose health risks to the user. Therefore, cleaning the kettle regularly and properly is very necessary.

Housewives can use natural ingredients such as lemon and vinegar to clean the inside of the kettle, helping to remove residue without harming health. Regularly cleaning the kettle not only helps ensure the quality of water used but also increases the life of the device.

Do not use if there are signs of damage.

Do not use the kettle if there are signs of damage such as frayed or cracked power cords or if the kettle is leaking. This can lead to dangerous accidents such as electric shock or fire.

If you detect any signs of damage, stop using and carefully check parts such as the lid, kettle base and power cord... If damaged, you must immediately repair or replace with a new one if necessary to ensure user safety.
