[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] As cold air masses hit one after another, many people began to use heating or heating stoves, as well as induction cookers to eat hot pot.

However, the Ministry of the Interior reminds that when using high-power electrical appliances such as induction cookers, air fryers, microwave ovens, electric cookers, electric heaters, and hair dryers, do not use extension cords, otherwise it may cause a fire.

The Ministry of the Interior pointed out in a Facebook post that to know what a high-power electrical appliance is, the easiest way to distinguish it is whether the appliance can "generate heat instantly", such as electric pans, ovens, microwave ovens, air fryers, and quick cookers in the kitchen. Kettles, dishwashers, hair dryers, electric heaters, and irons in the room are all common household appliances with high wattage.

The Ministry of the Interior stated that the most frightening thing about home fires is not knowing that "extension cords cannot be used with high-power electrical appliances". In addition, if you use "old-style extension cords" without overload protection devices and materials that are not flame-resistant, the extension cords will be silent. It is only a matter of time before the temperature rises beyond Baidu and eventually causes the wires to catch fire.

The Ministry of the Interior reminds that the weather has started to get cold recently, and small heating appliances such as heaters are ready to be rescued again. Please remember to install them in independent sockets when using them. As long as you know this little concept, you can greatly avoid the "electrical factors that often cause residential fires" ".

In addition, if the extension cord at home is too old, replace it as soon as possible, and if there is no alarm, install it as soon as possible.
