Bake clothes on the dehumidifier and be careful of the fire alarm! Experts remind the 5 key points for using moisture dehumidifier
When the Meishen comes, rains are constantly occurring everywhere, and indoor humidity is also increasing. Many people will use dehumidifiers, and some even hang clothes that are not dry on the dehumidifier to "dry". However, the Changhua County Fire Department pointed out that this is actually very dangerous. If the inlet and outlet vents are blocked, the engine will be dissipated poorly and cause fires, you must be careful. People should also pay attention to the maintenance of dehumidifiers in normal times to avoid fire.
The Fire Department of Changhua County Fire Department pointed out that electric appliance fires are often the cause of fire in homes. In addition to electric fans, the use of moisture dispenser should also be paid attention to. Every year in Taiwan, there are cases of moisture dehumidifier fires that have become fire alarms. In order to avoid moisture dehumidifier fire accidents, people should check the function of moisture dehumidifier at home before using it. Is it normal? If a fault or abnormality is found, you should ask for service inspection of each brand. Do not disassemble and replace parts by yourself. If it is a recall repair machine, please disable it immediately or contact the manufacturer for repair.

The pyrotechnic department said that generally speaking, most dehumidifiers will only be used in areas where it rains continuously or is damp. People are prone to neglect their safety. To avoid the occurrence of dehumidifier fire accidents, the following 5 points should be noted:
1. Do not dry clothes above the dehumidifier to avoid falling clothes, and block the inlet and exit of the wind, causing poor heat dissipation of the machine, which causes fire.
2. Keep at least 50 cm apart from the walls and furniture to avoid using air circulation and other closed spaces.
3. When the dehumidifier is used, keep a distance from furniture or combustible materials. Do not pile up miscellaneous objects around to avoid malfunction and fire. The fire will quickly expand and prolong.
4. The dehumidifier is a high-power home appliance. It should use an independent socket to avoid using extended wires or sharing circuits with other electrical products. If people need to leave or sleep at night, it is recommended to unplug the plug to avoid long-term movement.
5. Self-check whether the machine body has a "Commodity Safety Mark" and pay attention to whether it is a recall defective machine announced by the "Commodity Safety Information Network" of the Standard Inspection Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
