Why You Should Unplug These Kitchen Appliances Before Bed<\/p>\n
If home safety is a priority, make it a habit to unplug certain kitchen appliances\u2014especially air fryers and toaster<\/p>\n
ovens\u2014before going to sleep. While convenient and efficient, these devices can pose hidden electrical hazards even when not in use.<\/p>\n
Experts warn that air fryers, toaster ovens, and similar gadgets can overheat, experience electrical faults, or even catch fire<\/p>\n
due to poor wiring, voltage spikes, or aging components. Some models continue drawing \u201cphantom power\u201d while off, increasing long-term risks.<\/p>\n
To reduce fire danger, unplug these appliances nightly:<\/p>\n
Air Fryers \u2013 High wattage and internal heat buildup make them risky when plugged into outdated outlets.<\/p>\n
Toaster Ovens \u2013 Residual heat and minor electrical currents can trigger issues during power surges.<\/p>\n
Electric Kettles \u2013 Malfunctioning shutoff features may fail, leading to overheating.<\/p>\n
Coffee Makers \u2013 Older units with warming plates are a fire hazard if left on.<\/p>\n
Microwaves \u2013 Especially older ones, which can suffer from internal faults like sparking.<\/p>\n
Bonus: Unplugging idle devices not only prevents hazards but also cuts electricity costs.<\/p>\n
Adopt smarter habits, use surge protectors or smart plugs, and regularly inspect appliances for added peace of mind and home safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
