Many coffee makers consume electricity constantly to power the display, clock, or keep the water warm. This constant load wears out internal components over time.
Risk:
Overheating of the heater, especially if the appliance is located near flammable objects such as curtains, paper or kitchen towel
Tip:
Unplug the coffee maker after preparing the drink, even if it has an automatic shut-off function.
. Air fryers (hot air fryers)
Like many modern kitchen appliances, air fryers feature digital displays and saved settings that require constant current.
Risk:
Short circuit, especially if there is grease or food residue around the plug, as well as damage to the heating element.
Tip:
Let the appliance cool down completely and then unplug it from the mains.
4. Heating appliances
Heating appliances are among the most common causes of house fires when used incorrectly. Even when turned off by the button, they can consume electricity or create a risk if damaged or dropped.
Risk:
Very high risk of fire, especially if near blankets, towels or curtains. Possible overloading of the sockets.
Tip:
Always unplug the heater after use and avoid plugging it into power strips and extension cords.
