Other Kitchen Appliances
Washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers have powerful parts that heat up, any of which could start a fire if something goes wrong.
Follow our safety advice:
- Always switch appliances off at the wall before going to bed or going out
-
Always plug straight into a wall socket and avoid adaptors for lots of plugs as they can result in electricity overloads
-
Never Leave them running when going out or to bed
