Causes of hair dryer explosions you need to avoid
When choosing to buy a hair dryer for the family, consumers should pay attention and buy good quality machines, with clear origin, and trusted brands.
Because fake hair dryers, counterfeit products of big brands, or poor quality products, with unclear origin, often have extremely low prices, not ensuring safety when used.
The internal and external parts of the machine are not made of good materials, so they cannot withstand heat when used, and are easily damaged. If there is a collision, even a light one, it will be scratched or cracked, broken.
In many cases, users plug in the machine and use it, there is a phenomenon of fire and explosion. If they do not react promptly, the consequences are mild, the user will only suffer skin injuries, but severe ones can cause electrical short circuits and loss of life.
Use the hair dryer properly
1. Do not use the dryer continuously for a long time
Similar to other household appliances, the best thing you should do is not use the device for too long. Using the dryer in hot mode continuously will cause the machine to heat up. The heat sink will not dissipate heat in time, causing fire and explosion.
If you need to use the dryer for a long time, turn it off every 30 seconds – 1 minute. This will help the machine rest, even if only for a moment. In addition, you can occasionally adjust the heat mode of the machine to make it work better.
When using the hair dryer, if you hear a strange sound coming from the machine. It is not the sound you usually hear when the machine is operating, you should stop using the machine immediately. Because there may be a foreign object inside the fan blade.
If you continue to use it, the machine can explode at any time and the risk of causing injury to the user is very high.
2. Do not use the dryer in a closed environment
Many users often use the dryer as a mini heating device. Therefore, they often put the dryer in blankets, on carpets or in narrow enclosed areas. This is to warm their feet and warm their pets.
However, the dryer is not designed to heat, so it can explode if you keep using it. Using the dryer in a closed environment will cause difficulty in dissipating heat. The heat from the motor and the heating element can easily cause a short circuit and explosion.
