Fire Prevention: Fire Prevention Precautions for Common Household Appliances

1,   Electric iron

When the iron is used, it is forgotten to cut off the power or it is improperly placed, which can easily cause fire.

After testing, 300 watts, 500 watts, 700 watts of iron, the surface temperature can reach 520 ℃ respectively, 600 ℃, 620 ℃. Therefore, the electric iron that is being used for power is placed on the flammable object, and if it is neglected or temporarily left, it is often only a few minutes and it can cause a fire.

In addition, the heat of the iron can cause fire. Iron off after a certain period of time is still high heat, such as a thermostat iron reduced from 210 ℃ 130 ℃ takes about half an hour after, ordinary type electric iron reduced from half Approximately 600 ℃ 130 ℃ 76 minutes. During this time, if the electric iron touches combustibles, it can still cause fire.

In addition, the power cord of the electric ironing is a plug-in type. If the plug or the socket is exposed to moisture and the contact is loose, leakage, heat generation, insulation material damage will occur, and the plug and the wire will burn.

Electric iron fire prevention measures:

1 ) The operator should not leave easily when using the electric iron.

2 ) During the interval between ironing clothes, place the electric iron upright or place it on a special electric iron stand. Do not put it on flammable items. Don't put the iron on the iron plate with combustible material below. Or on the brick.

3 ) Don't disregard the electric iron that has just been turned off, and wait until it is completely cooled before releasing it.

4 ) When using a normal electric iron, do not apply power for a long time to prevent the iron from overheating, scalding and burning.

5 ) Do not allow the power outlet of the iron to get wet, and make sure that the plug is in contact with the socket.

6 ) The cross section of the electric iron power supply line conductor must not be too small. Never use an outlet together with other household appliances, or use it together with other household appliances that consume large power, such as rice cookers and washing machines, to prevent line overload. Fire.

2,   hair dryer

When the hair dryer was in use, he walked away because of other things (such as answering the phone, knocking someone on the door, etc.), then he put the hair dryer on the bench and completely forgot to use the hair dryer. The result was shelved for a long time. The high temperature of the hair dryer shell may ignite the flammable material.

In addition, when a hair dryer is used, a power failure occurs, but the power cord that has not been disconnected from the switch remains in the socket, and other things are done. After the power is restored, the long-heating of the heating wire may cause a fire. Even when some units are using a hair dryer to bake or flood, unauthorized personnel are required to leave their posts, or someone who uses a hair dryer without permission to use it in a fire hazardous area with flammable or explosive substances may cause fire and explosion.

Hair dryer fire prevention measures:

1 ) When using a hair dryer with power on, people cannot leave, nor can they be put on benches, sofas, mattresses and other combustibles. It is necessary to develop the habit of cutting off the power immediately after use, especially when a temporary power outage or electricity is encountered. This should be the case when the blower fails.

2 ) It is forbidden to use hair dryers in fire-suppressing places and in flammable and explosive dangerous places.

3 , rice cooker

When using a rice cooker to boil water, since the temperature of the inner pot does not exceed 100 °C , the magnet temperature limiter cannot jump up, causing the electric heating plate to be energized for a long time, overheating, and burning the insulation to cause a fire. The use of an ordinary aluminum pan instead of the inner pan or the pan in the rice cooker is not closely contacted with the electric heating plate, and the heat loss is large. The temperature reaches as low as 103 DEG C. The electric heating plate is always energized, thereby causing the electric heating plate to overheat, and also easily causing fire.

Rice cooker fire prevention measures:

1 ) Don't forget to cut off the power in time when using a rice cooker to make soup or boiling water.

2 ), Second, the surface of the electric heating plate and the inner pot must not be contaminated with rice grains or other debris to ensure close contact between the two.

3 ) Avoid collision with the inner pot. If the inner pot is seriously deformed, replace it immediately. Do not use an ordinary aluminum pot instead of the inner pot.

4 ) When using, the inner pot should be placed positively, and should be turned back and forth to ensure close contact with the electric heating plate.

5 ) The rice cooker shell, electric heating plate and switch should not be washed with water.

6 ) Do not illegally pull the power cord to power the rice cooker. Avoid loose contact and avoid increasing power consumption.
