Many children like to fix snacks after school and they often use electrical appliances to do so. The parent, however, must gauge how responsible the children are before letting them use the stove, microwave, or other kitchen appliances. The best rule-of-thumb is to read the manufacturer’s instruction booklet. If the booklet says “This appliance should not be used by children unless supervised by an adult” tell the children that particular appliance is off limits unless an adult is nearby.
If it is decided the children are responsible and old enough to use electrical appliances, follow these safety rules:
• When using countertop appliances, make sure cords aren’t dan- | gling over the stove or another hot surface. -
• Cords; or the appliance itself, should not be used close to water. If an appliance should fall into water, teach you children not to reach for it.
• Kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, basement, and outdoor electrical outlets should be fitted with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). These devices automatically interrupt the flow of potentially dangerous electrical current if an appliance develops a fault or is exposed to water.
• Since fires may be caused by unattended heat-producing appliances (irons, toasters, and the like), unplug appliances after every use.
Observing these common sense safety rules and purchasing products that bear the UL mark can help keep children safer.
