The kitchen appliance you must always unplug before going to sleep is usually the Electric Kettle or Toaster—basically anything that heats up or has exposed heating elements.
Why:
- These appliances stay hot or have live circuits even after use.
- Faulty wiring, residue, or accidental water contact can ignite a fire overnight.
- According to fire safety reports, toasters, kettles, and slow cookers are among the top culprits for kitchen fires when left plugged in.
🔥 Safety Tips:
- Unplug all heating appliances: kettle, toaster, sandwich maker, or coffee machine.
- Don’t leave items on the stove or near burners overnight.
- Check cords for damage—frayed cords are a hidden hazard.
- Use surge protectors for multiple appliances if you forget sometimes.
