• Always use cooking equipment (air fryers, slow cookers, electric skillets, hot plates, grills, etc.) listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on where and how to use appliances.
• Remember to unplug all appliances when not in use.
• Check cords regularly for damage. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord.

To promote safety, create a designated "child-free zone" by maintaining a minimum clearance of 3 feet (1 meter) around the stove and areas where hot food or beverages are being prepared or transported in your kitchen.

A slow cooker is designed to be left on while doing other things, even outside the home. However, there are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

• Keep things that could catch fire away from the slow Cooker.
• Make sure the slow Cooker is in a place where it won’t get bumped. If the lid gets dislodged, the liquid could boil over, which could cause the appliance to overheat and create a fire.

A pressure cooker is designed to cook food faster than a stovetop or oven because it uses hot steam and pressure to cook food. They must be used properly to prevent burns.

• Place the Cooker in an open space to allow the steam to ventilate.
• Never cover the steam release valve on the pressure cooker.
• Do not leave the home when using a pressure cooker. Air Fryers
• Give your air fryer enough space. The air vents release heat and need airflow.
• Do not leave the home when using the air fryer.
• Make sure you clean grease and food debris after every use. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Hot Plate, Griddle and Electric Skillet
• Stay with the hot plate, griddle, or electric skillet when cooking.
• Do not touch the surface of a hot plate, griddle, or electric skillet, as it could burn you.
• Unplug a hot plate, griddle, or electric skillet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning it.
