However, when using an electric kettle to boil water, you must pay attention to the following issues. If you are not careful, it will easily cause safety hazards and shorten the service life of the electric kettle.
First, the water in the hot water kettle should not exceed the water level.
Every hot water kettle will have a water level drawn inside. When we boil water, we should pay attention to where the water level is. The water poured in must not exceed the water level. If the water level is exceeded, the hot water is likely to overflow during the boiling process.
Because the hot water kettle will produce water vapor after being heated, the water vapor may expand the lid, and the water will naturally flow out. If you are not careful, it will flow into the socket below.
When many people are in a hurry to boil water, they don't pay attention to where the water level is, so they put a lot of water at once. But this approach is wrong. When we pour water in, we must pay attention to the water level.

Some friends habitually turn on the hot water kettle and then add water into it. But this approach is also wrong. If opens the socket without adding water, it can easily cause to dry-burn .

It is best to pour some water first and then turn on the power. This can ensure its normal operation and prevent some safety hazards.
Third, the base of the hot water kettle should not be exposed to water.
The base of the hot water kettle has metal objects. These metal objects will energize the kettle. If there is moisture in it, it is likely to leak electricity.
It is easy to get electric shock when we use a hot water kettle to boil water. In order to avoid these safety hazards.
Our best is to check the base of the hot water kettle to see if there is any water. If there is any water, wipe it dry or wait for the water to dry before using it.
The above three are the ways that many people make mistakes when using a hot water kettle. If you have these habits, you must remember to correct them.
I don’t know if you have noticed, but the kettles at home are prone to scale after being used for a long time.
The scale inside cannot be washed away no matter how hard you scrub. If is scrubbed too hard, it is likely to damage its inner tank, causing the hot water kettle to be damaged and unusable.
If we want to clean these scales, we only need to find white vinegar and baking soda at home.
You can first pour some baking soda into the hot water bottle, then pour the white vinegar at home into it, and wait for it to sit for five minutes.
Generally, white vinegar and baking soda can react, which can soften and clean. Pour these two things into the electric kettle to effectively clean the scale.
After cleaning, the scale in the kettle is gone, but there is still some white vinegar smell in it. Before using it, you can also boil some boiling water, then add some tea leaves and soak it for a few minutes to remove the white vinegar smell in it.
