Improper use of hair dryers is easy to cause disasters

Index > Power Life > Electrical Safety

A while ago, some people left the room after using the hair dryer, but forgot to turn off the hair dryer and caused a fire! Some hair dryers have a safety design. If the current is unstable or the machine is overheated, the power will be automatically cut off. However, if the hair dryer is faulty or blown inside the quilt, it is easy to cause a fire. Be careful! If you encounter abnormal use or leave temporarily, please be sure to turn it off or unplug the plug first!

The hair dryer is also a high-power electrical appliance. When using it, avoid plugging it into the same extension cord or socket with other high-power electrical appliances, such as oven, microwave oven, induction cooker, etc. at the same time. Be careful!  → How to calculate the load of the socket? 

1. Select the goods that have passed the inspection by Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, M.O.E.A. Unqualified products may be of poor quality or have no safe power-off design, which may lead to accidents.
2. When using a hair dryer, people can't leave, and the dryer can't be left at will.
3. Avoid using the hair dryer for a long time to avoid excessive temperature.
4. Do not use a hair dryer in the bathroom to avoid moisture and electric shock.
5. Unplug the plug after use to truly prevent fire.
