When using white vinegar to remove the scale in the electric kettle, the white vinegar we choose is one that is often used in cooking. When preparing white vinegar, we can add water to the electric kettle, add 50 ml of white vinegar to every 500 ml of water, mix the vinegar with water, then plug in the electric kettle, boil the vinegar and water inside, turn off the electric kettle after the water boils, and let the kettle stand for half an hour to cool down.

After the water is cooled, it can be directly poured out, and then the inside of the electric kettle can be gently brushed with a soft brush, so that the scale inside can be easily brushed off, and then it can be cleaned with clean water.

Matters needing attention in the use of kettle

An electric kettle uses an electric heating tube to heat water. The heating part of the electric heating tube is located in the pot, but its conductive terminal is located outside the pot. The inside and outside are mostly bolted, and the sealing and leakage are realized by the rubber ring between the electric heating tube and the pot body.

Although this kind of sealing apron has high temperature resistance above 100℃, the apron will still age and lose its elasticity after a long time of use because the electric kettle works at high temperature, resulting in various failures such as carbonization of bakelite socket, short circuit, melting of pot metal and fuse blowing.

After each water injection, users should carefully check whether there is water leakage around bakelite sockets before electrifying. When the fastening bolt of the power cord is loose, it must be tightened in time to hold down the apron to prevent leakage; When the sealing apron loses its elasticity due to aging, it should be replaced with a new high-temperature resistant sealing apron immediately to ensure the safety of use.
