Lesson Overview

26.6 – Checking Appliance Safety Before Use: Checking appliance safety before use prevents accidents and extends the life of your equipment. Inspect cords and plugs for damage or fraying before plugging in. Make sure surfaces are dry and hands are clean to avoid electric shock. Keep appliances away from sinks and heat sources. Follow manufacturer instructions and never overload circuits with multiple devices. For ovens, toasters, or microwaves, check interiors for leftover crumbs or spills that could ignite. Listen for unusual noises or smells that signal mechanical problems. Unplug appliances when not in use and schedule occasional deep cleaning. This habit protects both your safety and your home’s electrical system. Awareness before use turns every appliance into a trusted tool instead of a hidden hazard.
