The following are some core guidelines for the safe use of household appliances, which aim to help everyone provide a strong guarantee for the safety of themselves and their families.

 

 I. Guide to the purchase and placement of household appliances

1. Preferred formal channels: When purchasing household appliances, you must go through regular sales channels and tend to buy well-known brands with good reputation. Avoid entering the market of "three-nothing" products or counterfeit products, because these products may hide quality defects and safety risks.

2. Detailed examination of product information: Before purchase, carefully check the various identification information of the product. Confirm that the product has obtained the state-recognized 3C safety certification, which is an important indicator to measure whether it meets national security standards.

3. Professional installation service: For household appliances that need professional installation, such as air conditioners and water heaters, you must hire a qualified professional team to carry out the installation operation. Ensure that the installation location is suitable, follow the guidance of the product manual, and meet all safety standards to ensure safety and stability during use.

 

 II. Key points of daily operation and maintenance

1. Familiarize yourself with the operation guide: Before opening the home appliance for the first time, please be sure to take the time to read the instruction manual attached to the product in detail. This can not only help you get started quickly, but also let you know how to use the product correctly, potential risks and safety precautions.

2. Reasonable distribution of electricity: Avoid connecting multiple high-power appliances on the same socket at the same time to prevent current overload, which may lead to circuit short circuit or fire risk.

3. Code of safe electricity use: When operating household appliances, please keep your hands dry to avoid the risk of electric shock. Before moving electrical appliances, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the plug. Do not drag the wire directly to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the electrical environment.

 

III. Emergency Response Guide

1.Quickly cut off the power: In the face of home appliance failure or fire emergencies, the first task is to cut off the relevant power supply immediately. If conditions permit, you can use special electrician tools to cut the wires safely to isolate the current and prevent further deterioration of the situation.

2.Choose suitable means of fire extinguishing: When an electrical fire occurs, remember to disconnect the power supply before extinguishing the fire. You should choose to use non-conductive fire extinguishing equipment, such as dry powder extinguishers or sand and soil, to effectively extinguish the fire source. Remember that water and foam fire extinguishers are conductive, which will increase the risk of electrical fires, so they are strictly prohibited.

3.Electric shock emergency rescue: Once someone is found to be electrocuted, action should be taken quickly. First of all, try to cut off the power supply or use a dry insulated object to get it out of the charged state as soon as possible. If the electrocuted person has an emergency such as coma or respiratory arrest, artificial respiration should be carried out immediately and sent to the hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible to gain valuable rescue time.

IV. Additional safety tips

1. Use in moderation and avoid overheating: Household appliances are not tireless partners, and continuous work for a long time may make them "fever". Therefore, reasonable arrangement of use time, such as electric fans, electric mosquito coils and other seasonal equipment, should be turned off and unplugged in time after use, which can effectively prevent the safety hazards caused by overheating.

2. Child protection, socket lock: For families with children, socket safety cannot be ignored. Installing a protective cover or a child safety lock on the socket is like setting up a safety line for the little explorers at home to prevent their curious little hands from touching the dangerous power supply.

3. Careful inspection, early elimination of hidden dangers: the power cords, plugs and sockets of household appliances, like their lifelines, once aging or damaged, may become the source of safety hazards. Regularly check these parts carefully and replace them immediately once abnormality is found, which is a key step to ensure the safe use of household appliances.

 

In summary, the common sense of safety in the use of household appliances is like a small blessing in life. Although it is inconspicuous, it is very important. Following these safety tips can not only make our lives more secure, but also make household appliances a reliable partner for our happy life.
