Disinfection cabinet is a common kitchen appliance, which can effectively sterilize bacteria and ensure the cleanliness of the appliances used by people. The working principle of disinfection cabinet is to use ultraviolet or ozone to sterilize. If the human body inhales excessive ozone, it can seriously stimulate the respiratory tract, causing sore throat, chest tightness and cough, causing bronchitis and emphysema; Ozone can also cause nerve poisoning, dizziness, headache, decreased vision and memory loss; It can also destroy vitamin E in human skin, causing skin wrinkles and black spots. Next, Xiaobian introduces how to grasp the disinfection time of the disinfection cabinet and how to use the disinfection cabinet correctly.
How to grasp the disinfection time of the disinfection cabinet
The disinfection time of a disinfection cabinet is related to the number of tableware first. If we put a small number of tableware, we don't need to disinfect for a long time, but it doesn't mean that the less tableware we put, the less time we have. It takes some time to ensure the sterilization effect of the disinfection cabinet. Generally, the disinfection time of 81L disinfection cabinet is at least half an hour. Some disinfection cabinets will have several fixed time settings. If you put them for a long time, you will choose the longest time, and it will be completely disinfected in an hour and a half at most. If the volume of the disinfection cabinet is 121L, it will be disinfected for more than one and a half hours. Many people think that the disinfection time is too long and consumes electricity, but it is not. It costs a few seconds more electricity, but the disinfection effect is well guaranteed.
How to use the disinfection cabinet correctly
1. The tableware should be washed and drained before being put into the disinfection cupboard for disinfection, which can shorten the disinfection time and reduce the power consumption. Because the disinfection cupboard is heated by infrared heating tube, the temperature in the cupboard rises to 211 to 311 degrees Celsius, so as to achieve the purpose of disinfection. If the washed bowl is still dripping with water, the electrical components and metal surfaces of the disinfection cupboard are easy to be oxidized by moisture, and contact resistance appears at the socket of the infrared heating tube, which is easy to burn the socket or other parts and shorten the service life of the disinfection cupboard.
2. Tableware that plastic tableware can't withstand high temperature can't be put in a cupboard with infrared high temperature disinfection, but should be put in a cupboard with ozone disinfection at low temperature to avoid damaging tableware. Ozone low-temperature disinfection cupboard uses ozone function to sterilize, which can be used not only for plastic tableware, but also for sterilizing bakelite and other items that are easily deformed by high temperature, and also for sterilizing and keeping fresh vegetables, melons and fruits.
3. Colored porcelain utensils put into the disinfection cupboard will release harmful substances and endanger human health. Because ceramic bowls, plates, jars, pots, etc., when glazed, their enamel and pigments all contain toxic heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. These substances are relatively stable at ordinary times, but they are easy to overflow when encountering high temperature, and the internal temperature of the disinfection cupboard can be as high as 211℃ under working conditions, so it is not suitable to put them into the disinfection cupboard for disinfection.
4, disinfection cupboard should be placed in a dry and ventilated place, away from the wall should not be less than 31 cm. It is best to disinfect the dishes and chopsticks every one or two days. Because the disinfection cabinet is in a sealed state, if the tableware stored in the cabinet is not thoroughly disinfected, the disinfection cabinet has become a hotbed of bacteria, so regular use can be more helpful to sterilization.
5. Tableware such as bowls, plates and cups should be placed vertically on the shelf, and it is best not to stack them for ventilation and disinfection as soon as possible. Do not open the door unless it is necessary during disinfection, so as not to affect the effect. After disinfection, it will be better if you take it again after ten minutes.
6. When using ozone to disinfect cupboards, pay attention to whether the ozone generator works normally, and it is forbidden to hit the ozone generator when cleaning. Always check whether the door seal is well sealed, so as to avoid ozone escaping and affecting the disinfection effect. If you can't hear the squeak of high-voltage discharge or see the blue light of discharge, it means that the ozone generator may have a fault, so you should stop using it immediately and ask someone to repair it.
7. The electronic disinfection cabinet should be cleaned and maintained regularly, and the water in the water collecting box at the lower end of the cabinet body should be wiped clean. When cleaning, unplug the power plug first, and wipe the inside and outside surfaces of the disinfection cabinet with a wet cloth. It is forbidden to shower the electronic disinfection cabinet with a lot of water. If it is too dirty, wipe it with a neutral detergent first, then wipe off the detergent with a wet cloth, and finally dry the water with a dry cloth.
strategy for purchasing disinfection cabinets
1. Depending on the application situation
When purchasing disinfection cabinets, many factors should be considered, such as family population, room area, place of use, types of disinfection utensils, etc.: Generally, a single-door or double-door disinfection cabinet with a volume of less than 111 liters is selected for a family of three or an ordinary office and reception room, and the corresponding volume increase can be larger if there is a large population. If the living room area is small, it is more suitable to choose below 61 liters, otherwise, 71-111 liters can be selected. The disinfection cabinet with a volume of 151 -411 liters is mainly used to disinfect tableware in public places such as hotels and canteens.
2. Look at disinfection methods
There are two main types of disinfection cabinets in the market: normal and low temperature disinfection and high temperature disinfection. High temperature disinfection can only be applied to high temperature-resistant tableware, such as ceramics, stainless steel and other products. If you want to disinfect utensils that are not resistant to high temperature, such as plastics, you can choose a double-door disinfection cabinet that combines ozone and high-temperature disinfection.
3. Look at the function
The disinfection cabinet has many functions, such as disinfection, heat preservation, drying, door opening alarm and so on. Ordinary consumers can buy a disinfection cabinet with a single disinfection function. In order to be suitable for disinfection of different kinds of tableware, they can consider buying ozone and high-temperature disinfection double-door cabinets, and other functions can be selected according to different needs. The heat preservation function mainly keeps the tableware at a certain temperature, which makes it feel comfortable when using the tableware, especially suitable for the vast northern region.
4. Look at the sterilization and disinfection effect
The main purpose of consumers to buy disinfection cabinets is to sterilize, store and clean tableware, so the index of sterilization and disinfection effect is very important. Different factors such as disinfection temperature, ultraviolet intensity, ozone concentration and disinfection time will directly affect the sterilization effect. Consumers should pay attention to whether there are health inspection reports from authoritative health departments and quality inspection reports from quality inspection departments when buying the products.
5. Look at energy saving
In order to achieve the purpose of high-temperature disinfection, different structures, materials and processes will affect the thermal insulation effect of the disinfection cabinet, thus affecting the heating time and directly related to the consumption of electric energy.
6. Look at after-sales service
Good after-sales service is an extension of product quality assurance. When purchasing, we should fully consider whether the manufacturer has a perfect after-sales service network and a good service image in this area.
