Electrical Appliance Safety

All electrical appliances have inherent dangers. Operating instructions and safety instructions must always be understood and adhered to.

• Cover unused electrical outlets with safety plugs.

Other electrical items for which care should be taken when young children are present include:

• Kettles
• Stoves/ovens
• Irons
• Light fittings
