Infrared stove is favored by many consumers and is a substitute for traditional gas stoves. However, not everyone uses the infrared stove properly. Here are the common mistakes that WebTech360 summarizes in order for you to give you the knowledge to avoid in order to use infrared cookers safely and effectively.
1. Clean the kitchen with a wet towel
Infrared stove is electrical equipment so it is quite hydrophobic. If you use a wet towel to clean the kitchen, it will easily cause short-circuit and fire problems while the power is plugged in. That is not including the risk of electric shock to people. Make sure to drain all the power when cleaning the kitchen and use a dry cloth with a special cleaning solution.
2. Lazy cleaning kitchen
You should clean the kitchen regularly
Compared with gas stoves, electric cookers have a compact design and are easier to clean. However, this inadvertently makes many people less in the habit of carefully cleaning and maintaining them. In addition, if the kitchen surface is wet and not clean, the grease will easily crack if operated at high temperatures. Therefore, you should practice the habit of cleaning kitchen after use.
3. Carelessness when using kitchen utensils
Do not leave tools, metal objects on the countertop
Induction cookers usually have glass material, so all metal objects when placed on the countertop are heated, so you must pay attention not to tools, metal objects on the countertop. And do not place metal objects on an active induction hob.
4. Turn the stove on then leave it alone or turn on the stove without the pot or food on top
The worst mistake is probably heating up by turning on the stove without using it or leaving it unused. Without food or a pot to cook, the radiant heat is quite strong and dissipates electricity. Worse will lead to broken electrical wire under the kitchen surface due to no load.

In addition, do not make the infrared stove hot too long without placing the pot or food on top of the stove. When you cook, the heating mechanism starts to work and it heats up the stove very quickly. Therefore, if you do not use the stove immediately, it will waste energy and reduce the life of the kitchen resistance.
5. The installation position of the kitchen is too close to the wall edge
The installation position of the kitchen is too close to the wall edge
If you place the kitchen too close to the edge of the wall, the heat will not dissipate and escape to the surrounding environment. If the heat accumulates long enough, it forms moisture, causing damage to the stove and creating a high risk of fire and explosion.
6. Use the infrared cooker to share an electrical outlet with other devices
Infrared stoves usually have a large capacity, usually from 2000-3000W. Therefore, you should use a power outlet exclusively for infrared cookers to avoid short-circuiting, causing fire and explosion.
7. Touch the countertop when you are finished using it
8. Touch the countertop when you are finished using it
The heat radiated during the cooking process is still quite a lot and long after you are finished using the kitchen. If you accidentally touch your hand immediately, it will easily burn your hand. Pay attention to this when you want to clean the kitchen.
9. Unplug the electricity right after cooking
When unplugging the power immediately after use, the infrared stove's cooling mode has not been operated and operated, so the cooking time lasts longer, and in the long run it may harm the infrared stove.
