The birth of delicious food
Often cannot be separated from the kitchen
But there are also dangers in the kitchen
"The oil cup of the range hood is not full anyway, clean it up later!"

Fire hazard
After long-term use, the range hood at home will form thick grease in the inner cavity. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily cause a fire when encountering an open flame.
If the range hood is not cleaned for a long time, there will be two fire hazards:
1. If the range hood accumulates too much grease, the oil pipe will be blocked or the edge will leak. If the oil smoke adheres to the range hood for a long time, its viscosity will become stronger, affecting the rotation speed of the wind wheel and making the smoke exhaust unsmooth.
