⚡ General Safety Notes:
- Even when turned off, many appliances draw phantom electricity (standby power), which increases fire risk and wastes energy.
- Unplugging reduces both fire hazards and electricity bills.
- Always check cords for frays, cracks, or burns. Replace damaged ones immediately.
- Use outlets with surge protectors when possible.
👉 Rule of Thumb:
If it has heating elements (toasters, kettles, fryers, coffee makers), always unplug before bed or leaving home.
