Guidance for household induction cooker users focuses on electrical safety and maintenance to ensure device durability. 

Key recommendations include waiting for the cooling fan to stop operating before unplugging portable or single induction cookers to allow for proper heat dissipation of internal components. Users are advised to grasp the plug directly rather than pulling the cord. 

To prevent electrical overload and overheating, high-power induction cookers should not share power strips or outlets with other high-consumption appliances, such as microwaves, rice cookers, or electric kettles.
