Consumer tips for stainless steel electric kettles

A stainless steel electric kettle is a convenient small household appliance that can heat water to boiling point. It generally has functions such as rapid boiling of water, automatic power off after water boiling, and anti dry burning power off. Due to its stable metal properties and good chemical properties, stainless steel is widely favored by consumers. In order to help consumers scientifically choose and use stainless steel electric kettles, the following consumption tips are specially made.

1. Identify and implement standards

Electric kettles need to follow food safety standards, product quality standards, and electrical safety standards in the design and production process.

In terms of food safety, the migration of raw materials and stainless steel materials that come into direct contact with food in electric kettles should comply with the relevant provisions of the National Food Safety Standard for Metal Materials and Products in Contact with Food (GB 4806.9-2016).

In terms of product quality, electric kettles must comply with the performance indicators such as volume deviation, boiling water cut-off temperature, boiling water cut-off time, reset time, thermal efficiency, etc. specified in the "Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Electric kettles" (GB/T 22089-2021).

In terms of electrical safety, electric kettles should comply with mandatory standards such as "Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 1: General Requirements" (GB 4706.1-2005) and "Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Special Requirements for Liquid Heaters" (GB 4706.19-2008).

2. Selection and purchase of stainless steel electric kettle

Pay attention to the execution standards of the product. Check if it complies with relevant regulations in our country.

Secondly, observe the appearance of the electric kettle. Products with thick plastic or stainless steel shells and beautiful appearance should be chosen as much as possible.
