Beware of “electric tigers”

With the increase of electricity consumption in summer, the risk of electricity consumption also increases. Improper use of electrical appliances, misoperation and other behaviors have resulted in a significant increase in fires caused by electrical line failures. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections on various electrical appliances such as air conditioners, and never let them “get angry”.

When installing and using the air conditioner, pay attention to the following points.

The installation location should be selected

The height, direction, and location of the air conditioner installation must be conducive to air circulation and heat dissipation. When installing and using, pay attention to keeping a certain distance from combustible objects such as curtains.

Air conditioners must use dedicated power outlets and wiring

Do not use the power cord with lighting or other household appliances. The carrying capacity of the wire and the capacity of the watt-hour meter should be sufficient, and the plug should be in close contact with the electrical components. In order to ensure safety, the air conditioner should be equipped with a one-time fuse protector to prevent the temperature rise caused by the breakdown of the capacitor and cause a fire. The capacity of the fuse should be appropriate, and it must not be replaced by iron wire or copper wire.

The air conditioner should be maintained regularly

Regularly clean the condenser, evaporator, filter screen, and heat exchanger, and wipe off the dust frequently to prevent the radiator from being blocked and eliminate fire hazards. The air conditioner that has been out of service for a long time needs to be checked and maintained before restarting. If there is no fault, it can be put into use again.

When using an electric fan, be careful not to let water in to prevent short circuit; regularly add engine oil to the oil hole to avoid overheating of the motor; find abnormal conditions such as high power consumption or high casing temperature, and repair them in time; In case of abnormal noise, smoke, burnt smell, live numb hands, etc., power off measures should be taken immediately.

After the washing machine is used up, disconnect the power supply and ventilate and dry it to prevent the washing machine motor from getting wet

Do not place heavy objects or heat-generating items on the top of the washing machine to avoid fire. When using TVs, computers and other equipment in summer, the most important thing is to pay attention to heat dissipation. If the temperature is too high, it is not suitable to use for a long time, otherwise it will cause heat accumulation and accelerate the aging of components; do not use cloth covers, especially when working on TVs. Do not cover the TV cover on the chassis; because there are many thunderstorms in summer, it is best to disconnect the power supply when not watching TV or using the computer, and do not leave them in standby to avoid being damaged by lightning.
