Electric kettles are common household appliances, but over time, they can become dirty, affecting health and consuming more electricity.
How to Clean an Electric Kettle:
Prepare alcohol or strong liquor.
Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the base of the kettle, especially the gaps where dirt accumulates.
Wipe the "copper plate" on the base of the kettle.
Precautions When Using an Electric Kettle:
Do not continuously boil water without letting the kettle rest, as it may cause overheating or damage. After the first boil, let the kettle rest for about 15 minutes before using it again.
Always close the lid tightly before boiling water to save energy and prevent potential hazards.
Use a thermos to keep water hot for longer, which helps save electricity.
Additional Tips:
Pour an appropriate amount of water—neither too little nor too much.
When unplugging the kettle, hold the plug instead of the cord to avoid electric shock.
Dry your hands before handling the kettle to prevent electrical hazards.
