How to use the disinfection cabinet

The hot summer is here, and it is the time when bacteria multiply in large numbers. If we do not pay attention to food hygiene, it will cause bacterial infection and everyone will get sick. The most common is gastrointestinal disease. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases can even threaten life safety. It is best to use disinfection cabinets in unit canteens and home kitchens if conditions permit, which can kill bacteria on tableware in time.

The disinfection cabinet is a commonly used electrical appliance. Like a computer, it is best to use it every day, so that the service life of the disinfection cabinet will be extended. The disinfection cabinet uses infrared heating tubes to increase high temperature to achieve the purpose of disinfection. There are many other ways to use the disinfection cabinet, which are introduced below.

1. The tableware should be washed and drained before being placed in the disinfection cabinet for disinfection. This can shorten the disinfection time and reduce electricity consumption.

2. Tableware that is not resistant to high temperatures, such as plastic, cannot be placed in the high-temperature disinfection cabinet on the lower level, but should be placed in the low-temperature disinfection cabinet with ozone disinfection on the upper level for disinfection to avoid damaging the tableware.

3. Placing colored porcelain utensils in a disinfection cabinet will release harmful substances and endanger human health. Because the glaze and pigments of ceramic bowls, plates, jars, pots, etc. contain toxic heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Normally, these chemical elements are relatively stable, but they are easily released when exposed to high temperatures. When the disinfection cabinet is in working condition, the internal temperature can reach as high as 200℃. Frequently placing food in these sterilized colored porcelains will cause the food to be contaminated and endanger health.

4. Bowls, plates, cups and other tableware should be placed vertically on shelves. It is best not to stack them to allow for ventilation and disinfection as soon as possible.

5. When using the ozone disinfection cabinet, pay attention to whether the ozone generator is working properly. If you cannot hear the squeaking sound of high-voltage discharge or see the blue light of discharge, it means that the ozone generator may be faulty.

The disinfection cabinet is the same as other household appliances. It must be placed in a dry and ventilated place, and the distance from the wall should be greater than 30 cm. Generally, the door should not be opened during the process of disinfecting tableware, as opening the door will affect the disinfection effect. After disinfection, it is best to use the tableware ten minutes later. Everyone must pay attention to the disinfection of tableware to ensure their health.
