However, if used incorrectly, this device can increase the risk of fire, explosion, heat burns or unnecessary power consumption.
According to the US National Fire and Rescue Association, users should not leave flammable objects such as paper towels, nylon bags or plastic boxes near the operating kitchen area. Heat from the kitchen surface can cause smoke even if users do not notice immediately.
Experts also recommend using pots and pans suitable for each electric stove line to optimize heat transfer efficiency. For induction cookers, the bottom of the pot needs to be magnetically charged so that the stove operates stably and saves more electricity.
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Board, users need to develop the habit of turning off the stove immediately after cooking and should not plug it in continuously when not in use. Some cases of short circuits or overload can occur if the device operates for a long time without periodic checks.
In addition, cleaning the kitchen surface after each cooking is also very important. Oil and food sticking for a long time not only causes unsanitary conditions but also affects the heat dissipation capacity of the device. When wiping, you should wait for the kitchen surface to cool completely to avoid cracking glass or hand burns.
Experts note that if the stove shows abnormal signs such as a burning smell, sparks or unstable heat, users should stop using it and check carefully before continuing to operate.
