If you don't use your air conditioner the right way in summer, watch out for a crooked mouth, slanted eyes and body aches all over

But these past two days I keep seeing netizens suffer facial paralysis, hematoma, a crooked mouth and slanted eyes from air conditioning... It sounds terrifying, but the truth is many people simply don't know how to use an air conditioner properly, so today Huahua will explain it all in detail!

Common mistakes in air conditioner use

Mistake 1: Not opening windows for fresh air

Generally, when the air conditioner is on, doors and windows are kept tightly shut to stop the cold air from escaping. But over time, the indoor air becomes very stale, and staying in it for long periods makes you dizzy and weak, and can also cause respiratory infections.

Mistake 2: The lower the temperature, the better

When the air conditioner is set to 25-28°C, the body is in a comfortable state, but surveys show that nearly 44% of netizens set their air conditioner below 24°C, creating too great a difference from the outdoor temperature and leading to frequent colds and fevers

Mistake 3: Blowing it on your face feels cooler

Some people crave the cold and point their face straight at the air conditioner, and after a whole night of it they find their facial muscles have lost motor function, commonly known as

facial paralysis

a crooked mouth and slanted eyes

。

To avoid this happening, you can install a wind deflector under the vent, and it won't harm your body~

Mistake 3: The air conditioner doesn't need cleaning

Many people have never cleaned their own air conditioner, but in fact, among all household appliances, air conditioners accumulate the most dust, germs and pollutants, and leaving them uncleaned for a long time easily leads to respiratory infections and skin allergies

How do you use an air conditioner correctly?

1. Don't rush to turn on the air conditioner after coming indoors

In summer, outdoors, you sweat heavily and your blood vessels are dilated; if you turn on the air conditioner the moment you get inside, the temperature drops suddenly, making the blood vessels contract sharply and blood pressure rise, and in serious cases this can trigger cardiovascular disease, so don't rush to turn on the air conditioner after coming indoors, wait until your body temperature has returned to room temperature before turning it on!

2. Turn on the air conditioner first, then close the windows

Since air conditioners contain all kinds of dust and bacteria, when you first turn it on you should open the windows first, let the pollutants be released, and then close the doors and windows; this reduces the risk of infection, and in addition you should

open the windows for fresh air every 3 hours

3. The cooling vent should face upward

Cold air moves downward and hot air the opposite way, so in summer you should point the vent upward and let the cold air circulate from top to bottom, which cools the whole room evenly and quickly!

4. 26°C is the most comfortable

In weather of around 35°C, it is best to set the air conditioner to 26°C; when the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is no more than 10 degrees, the body is most comfortable and the air conditioner also saves more electricity.

5. Put a basin of water in the air-conditioned room

While running, the air conditioner draws moisture out of the air, and as the temperature drops it also makes the air dry; when the moisture in the room decreases, it draws moisture from the human body, making the skin dry and the eyes gritty, so you should put a basin of water in the room.

6. Don't turn off the air conditioner for brief trips outside

To save electricity, many people turn off the air conditioner when going out for a short time, but the high voltage generated by frequent switching only wastes more electricity and easily damages the air conditioner!

7. Set a timer when using the air conditioner at night

In the small hours the temperature is relatively low, so you shouldn't keep the air conditioner on all night; just set it for 2-3 hours from bedtime, and also be careful not to blow it directly on your head!

8. Clean the air conditioner regularly

Dust accumulates and bacteria breed heavily on the air conditioner panel and filter, so in summer it is recommended to clean it once every 1-2 months, and if you can, disinfect it with a professional air conditioner disinfectant.
