Boiling

1.  To pour an appropriate amount of 3 percent NACL solution into the coated electric hot tray

2.  To switch on the electric hot tray till the water dries out. After that, pour an appropriate amount of solution again and wait for the water dries out.

3.  To pour some solution a third time and heat it till steaming appears. Cut off the power as soon as the steaming appears and lay it aside for 24 hours.

4.  To pour the remaining solution away and dry the water stains. Conduct cross- cutting test and nail scratching test.

5.  Determination: It is qualified if there has been no peeling off or wrinkling in the test of the coating.

Seventh, Pencil Hardness Testing Procedures:

1.To sharpen a pencil with 2 to 3 mm of the lead revealed

2.  To lay an abrasive paper on a flat table and grind the lead on it with the pencil vertically downwards.

3. To select a center on a smooth part of the coating and move the pencil more than 20mm forward on the coated surface with the angle of 45 degrees.

4. To rotate the pencil 120 degrees and move more than 20mm forward parallelly.

To rotate the pencil 120 degrees again and move more than 20mm parallelly. 3 marks have been left on the coated surface.

5. To rub the three marks with a rubber and observe the condition of the coated surface.

6. Determination: If the marks can be rubbed totally and leave no marks at all, the coating has gone through the pencil hardness test.

 Eighth, Boiling Soy Sauce Testing Procedures:

1. To add some ordinary edible oil into the electric hot tray.

2. To close and switch on the electric hot tray to fry till the soy sauce dries out. Add an appropriate amount of soy sauce to fry again for test.

To fry for test continuously for 1.5 hours, then shut down the power and open the electric hot tray. Wash it with cold water after it cools down and dry the water stains with a piece of calico. Conduct cross- cutting test.

3. To observe the condition of the electric hot tray.

4.  Determination: The electric hot tray is qualified if there are no marks on the surface of it and it has gone through the cross- cutting test.

Comments: Hardness 2H should be used for Bakelite parts and metal parts.

Hardness HB or B should be used for injection molding parts.

Ninth, Paper Towel Wiping Testing Procedures:

3. test time:

If the product is sold to Japan, it should be test continuously for 2 cycles.

If the product is sold in China, it should be test continuously for 6 cycles. The material for the test should be Sichuan hotpot seasoning. Once a day, sparerib, radish, green vegetables and sugar should be added into the hot pot and the food should boil.
