Drinking more hot water usually has many benefits for our bodies. I believe that many families use electric kettles to boil the hot water. It is very convenient and fast to use it to boil water. But as the kettle is used for a long time, some problems will inevitably arise. For example, poor contact or the time for boiling water becomes longer. With these problems, many friends think that the electric kettle is broken and needs to be replaced or used for repair. A few days ago, my mother-in-law, who lives in the countryside, called me and asked me to buy an electric kettle for her in the county town, saying that the electric kettle at home will not be powered on if it is put on. Later, I bought her a kettle and went home. My husband picked up the old kettle to check what was the reason. I saw my husband holding a toothpick and poking it on the kettle. I used it to boil water and found that the kettle can be used normally again. If there is a similar situation in your kettle, let’s follow me to see how it is operated!
The electric kettle at our home is not powered, slow boiling water, and poor contact. It is very likely that it is caused by scale or some other dirty things on the base of the electric kettle. When we clean the kettle, I believe many friends just clean the surface of the kettle very clean, but the cleaning of the base is usually ignored. There is a raised circle in the center of the base, and there are some small gaps in the middle of the circle. During the use of these gaps, some impurities or foreign objects will inevitably fall into it. There are two copper sheets inside the base. After long-term use, dust and dirt may have adhered to the copper sheet, which will lead to poor contact and affect the conductivity of boiling water. We need to clean it regularly.
Cleaning method is also very simple. We first prepare a toothpick, then take a cotton swab, and there is a ball of small cotton on the cotton swab. We pull off a little cotton and roll it on the toothpick.
Then we pour a little alcohol into the bowl. If there is no alcohol, you can use white wine and dip the alcohol with a toothpick.
Then put it deep into the gap in the base to clean it.
We simply wiped it a few times, and then we could see that the small cotton has turned black and very dirty. We don’t have to worry about getting wet inside after cleaning, because alcohol evaporates very quickly. After we use it to clean it, it immediately evaporates and turns dry.
In addition to this place, there is also a circle of such a small gap at the bottom of the kettle. We just need to clean it in the same way. After cleaning, we use it to boil water and we will find that boiling water will be faster and more power-saving.
