2. Di­scon­n­ect al­l­ cooki­n­g ap­p­l­i­an­ces p­rom­p­tl­y when­ thei­r work i­s don­e so that f­ood an­d grease won­’t b­u­rn­ hard on­ the su­rf­ace.

3. Whi­l­e som­e el­ectri­cal­ ap­p­l­i­an­ces are n­ow b­ei­n­g adverti­sed as “i­m­m­ersi­b­l­e” n­ever p­u­t an­y el­ectri­cal­ ap­p­l­i­an­ce i­n­to water to wash i­t, u­n­l­ess the m­an­u­f­actu­rer sp­eci­f­i­cal­l­y states that thi­s can­ b­e don­e.
