Allaah The Exalted has bestowed knowledge upon humans and as a result
of this knowledge there are modern inventions that have made chores
easier, resulting in greatly reducing human exertion, thereby
freeingup time for other things.
Therefore, electrical appliances should be maintained and well taken
care of by reading the user instructions. Some of the general
instructions for taking care of appliances include:
ـ Reading the appliance instruction manual.
ـ Keeping the appliance clean.
ـ Using the appliances correctly and without overuse.
The user instructions for some of appliances are asfollows:
For the refrigerator: to maintain the refrigerator, the following
instructions should be implemented:
ـ The refrigerator should be placed away from sources of heat, and
there should be some space left between it andthe wall.
ـ For the older, frost-forming refrigerator types, ice that forms in
the freezer should be melted continuously without using a sharp knife
so as not to pierce ahole in the fridge's pipes resulting in a
refrigerant gas leak, thus requiring the cooling system to be changed.
ـ Avoiding opening the fridge door frequently orleaving it open for a
longtime for whoever is usingit. Therefore, it may be better to have a
separate large water container placed outside it.
ـ Not to overfill the fridgewith more than its capacity.
ـ During vacations, the fridge should be emptied, unplugged, andthe
door left open.
ـ Ensure that the inner rubber tubing around the fridge door closes
properly, this can be examined by placing a sheet of thin paper
between the door and the fridge every once in awhile to check. If the
door opens easily, this means that the tubing needs to be replaced.
ـ Adjusting the cooling level knob as required.
ـ If the refrigerator remains empty for one reason or another it
should be switched off.
ـ To absorb refrigerator odors, place a box of natural coal [or baking
soda] in the fridge.
The Washing Machine is an appliance that has saved much effort in
washing clothes; therefore, it should be well taken care of by using
it efficiently and considering the following:
ـ Checking to make sure that its electrical plugs are safe to use.
When running the appliance ona wet surface, one shouldstand on
something rubber or wooden that does not conduct electricity to avoid
any electric shock.
ـ For older washing machines that are not automatic, it is necessary
to empty the water from the washing machine, and the hose and basin
rinsed from any traces of soap, and the washing machine should be
returned to its original place.
ـ In the older type washing machines, it is not suitable to soak
clothes for a long period of time to avoid salt and soap deposits
causing inner wall corrosion; soak them instead in a separate
washbowl.
ـ Use fresh warm water when washing.
The Dishwasher: It is important to note the following when caring for
a dishwasher:
ـ Use pure and warm water.
ـ Remove any traces of burnt food from pots before placing them in the machine.
ـ Place cups and plates in the machine in such a way as to leave
spaces between them and enable water to penetrate between the
surfaces.
ـ Use the correct quantity of dishwashing detergent, taking care to
use sufficient detergent to clean the dishes without using excess as
too many suds may negatively affect the machine.
The Cooker and Water Heater : To maintain them, the following is important:
ـ Avoid the risks of dangerous accidents; anypossibility of a gas leak
should be totally precluded. Therefore, care should be taken when
using the cooker, insuring that the gas piping is in proper condition
and properly connected.
ـ Should the flame suddenly turn off, turn the gas knob off
immediately, and do not ignite any other flame at that time, and
ensure sufficient ventilation for the room.
ـ Clean the cooker inside and out, so that gas pores are not clogged
with food, as well as for reasons of hygiene and maintaining a fresh
roomfragrance
The Meat Grinder: Take care of the following:
ـ For manual grinders, thedifferent parts should be individually
washed well with soap and water and dried. For automatic grinders,
after disconnecting the appliance, only wash the food compartment. The
remainder should be carefully wiped; taking care that the water does
not come near the motor.To clean, first wipe with a cloth moistened
with soap and warm water, then wipe again with water only.
ـ The grinder blade should be sharpened when it loses its sharpness.
Care should betaken not to leave the machine running for too long for
should the motor heat-up, this may cause it to burn.
ـ Take care not to grind pieces of bone and the like that may be
present in the meat. To push meat through, use the accompanying
utensil and do not use a woodenspoon so that it does not get stuck and
ruin the machine.
ـ Use the grinder only for the purpose for which it was made.
The Dough Maker : take care to follow these guidelines:
ـ Add constituents in quantities that are withinthe appliance's
capacity to process.
ـ Keep water away from the motor. It is sufficient to simply to wipe
it clean with a moist cloth; to minimize yeast growth, itshould be
washed with soap.
ـ Do not leave the machine running for too long, so as not to ruin themotor.
ـ When using the dough maker, make sure that it is balanced and not
tiltedin one direction while it is running.
The Blender: A blender is very useful when juicing fruits and
tomatoes. Caring for the appliance requires the following:
ـ Blades should be taken care of and carefully washed and dried.
ـ Wash only the food compartment and blades,the appliance body is to
be wiped using a moist cloth to avoid any water from coming near the
appliance motor and damaging it.
ـ Do not run the machine for too long so that the motor does not
heat-up and burn.
Fans: Fans are often used in the summer, especially when the weather
is veryhot. To maintain and carefor fans the following should be taken
into consideration:
ـ Clean the outside surface with a soft damp cloth.
ـ The inner fan wings can be wiped when needed by carefully opening
the fan case.
ـ The fan motor should never come into contact with water, for it
would be damaged.
ـ The fan should be oiled once a year by a specialist technician.
The Air Conditioner: to care for the air conditioner:
ـ Do not cover the fans with anything that may impede air flow.
ـ Be sure thick solid wiresare used, as well as high capacity
electrical connectors that can bear the force of the electrical air
suction of the appliance.
ـ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean any dust caught on its outer surface.
ـ Filters may require changing after some timeaccording to the
instructions that accompany the appliance.
ـ Should any peculiar sound be emitted from the air conditioner,
immediately switch off the electrical current, andcall a specialized
technician to check it.
The Vacuum Cleaner: To maintain this appliance and use it for the
longest possible time:
ـ Empty its dust bag whenever it becomes half full. For the bag
type,disposable bags are moreconvenient and less clogging to the
machine.
ـ Clean the filter often - using a soft brush and wipe the inner
surface ofthe vacuum cleaner.
ـ Replace the hose when necessary.
ـ Lubricate the appliance at regular intervals.
The Iron: caring for an iron requires the following:
ـ Clean with a cloth dampened with soap andwater, do not use any
abrasive cleaners so as not to affect the smoothness of the iron's
surface.
ـ Store the iron by wrapping its wire around it, and only after it has
completely cooled down.
ـ Do not fill or empty the iron with water except after disconnecting
it from the electric current.
ـ It is best to use clean distilled water when filling a steam iron so
as to avoid salt precipitation that can result in impairing the
appliance or reducing its water vapor production speed.
ـ When ironing, place the iron in a safe position to ensure it does not drop.
ـ Lubricate an old iron with Vaseline or wax to prevent the formation
of rust when it is to be left without use for a long period of time.
Fine sandpaper can be used toremove rust.
The Sewing Machine: An important machine that is recommended for every
home. To maintain and care for it:
ـ Keep the machine covered in its casing when not in use. Oil the
machine regularly with oil that is specific for sewing machines.
ـ Remove any excess oil or built-up dust particles, so that material
will not become soiled while sewing.
ـ Use a suitable type of thread, and sew clothing in the direction of
its grain to make sewing easier.
ـ Make sure the sewing machine foot peddle remains in a balanced
position when applying pressure on it (if it is the [older] type
without a motor); keeping the feet in a level position on the peddle;
the right foot should be on the lower right corner of the peddle, and
the left foot on the top left corner. When the machine is running with
an electrical motor, use one peddle and discard the other.
