Tips for using induction cookers safely during the rainy season

(Baonghean.vn) - During the rainy season, the weather is humid, if your home is using an induction cooker, you need to pay special attention because high humidity can cause damage and reduce the life of the device. The following methods will help you preserve and use the induction cooker effectively during the rainy season.

Check the stove installation location

This is a particularly important note when installing the stove. You should choose a location 10cm away from the wall because rainwater seeping into the wall for a long time can damage the internal components of the stove due to excessive humidity.

Do not place the stove near a washing machine, refrigerator or freezer... these devices will create humidity, causing water to condense; when the induction stove gets water on the circuit board, it will cause damage, short circuit, fire and explosion, making it unsafe for the user.

When the stove is accidentally wet, absolutely do not use the stove.

Regular use

Regular use of the induction cooker will avoid damage during the rainy season because when the humidity is high, if the cooker is not used for a long time, the components will be easily damaged.

If your family does not need to use it much, you should turn on the stove about 2 times/week to maintain stable operation of the stove.

Use according to manufacturer's instructions.

Normally, many people subjectively use the stove based on their feelings and experience without carefully reading the manufacturer's instructions... Each type of stove has its own design and function. If used "based on experience", it will easily break down and be very dangerous.

Some manufacturers will not have specific instructions on how to use the stove during the rainy season, but they will have instructions on what to do and what not to do. You should read carefully and not miss any details to use the stove better.

Do not turn off the power immediately after using the stove.

This is an important requirement when using an induction cooker: "do not turn off the power immediately after using the cooker" because the induction cooker also has a cooling fan. When the cooker is turned off, the fan will still operate for a certain period of time to cool the internal components as well as remove moisture if any during use.

If the power is turned off immediately after use and the fan does not operate for a long time, it will affect the electronic circuits, easily causing rust in the rainy season, directly affecting the life of the stove.

Regularly clean and sanitize the kitchen

During cooking, food, broth, grease, etc. are inevitably splashed onto the stove, especially in humid weather. If food sticks to the stove for a long time and is not wiped clean, it will quickly form mold, causing unhygienic conditions and affecting the operation of the stove.

In case of unexpected problems or damage, you should call a technician to have the induction cooker repaired properly.
