Using appliances properly to prevent fires
“Review these tips to ensure safe operation of electrical appliances:
Make sure appliances are approved by Underwriters' Laboratories or another authorized laboratory.
Never operate an appliance while touching a metal object - especially plumbing - or while standing on a wet surface or while taking a bath or shower. Teach children not to touch appliances with wet hands.
Always locate appliances away from sinks and tubs in the kitchen or bathroom.
Never use a metal object such as a fork or knife to dislodge something from an appliance.
Keep motors clean and free from lint, dust, and dirt. Always unplug appliances before cleaning them.”
