Appliances and heating units
Appliances and heating units:
know where your fuse box is and which fuses or circuit breakers control
each circuit;
when using extension cords, ensure they are not damaged or cut and make
sure they do not get hot;
when using extension cords outside, only use those that are rated for
outside use;
when replacing light bulbs, be sure your hands are dry and be sure the
fixture is turned off;
do not use bulbs that exceed the wattage recommended for the fixture;
do not hang paper towel racks, curtains or towels by a toaster oven,
as they can ignite.
