  • Safe Use of Kitchen Appliances
    • Electrical Appliances
      • Equipment must be serviced, checked regularly and PAT tested.
      • Only trained staff should use the equipment.
      • Make sure you know how to operate equipment - read instructions first.
      • Flexes should not be frayed or split/cable not worn.
      • Do not use appliance, touch plugs or sockets with wet hands.
      • All electrical equipment must be positioned safely - do not use near water etc.
      • Always have a fire blanket or the correct fire extinguisher near to fryers.
      • Do not immerse in water when washing up.
      • Always switch the machine off after use and during cleaning.
      • Do not overload the sockets.
      • Make sure there are no trailing flexes - use cable ties.
    • How to deal with a small Deep Fat Fryer that has caught alight.
      • Switch off the heat source, ventilation and extraction.
      • Exclude air - use a fire blanket, tray, lid or fire extinguisher.
      • Vacate the building, check everyone is safe, take a register.
      • Raise the alarm.
      • Close all doors and windows.
      • Don't panic, keep calm.
      • Record the incident.
      • Call the fire brigade and (if need be) call 999.
    • Deep Fat Fryer
      • Never fill pan more than 3/4 full
      • Dry food thoroughly before frying.
      • Do not fry too much food at once.
      • Never 'throw' food into the fat - lower in gently using a basket or spider.
      • Normal frying temperature is between 175 degrees  C and 195 degrees C.
      • Burns caused by hot fat are extremely serious so medical aid must be sought immediately.
      • Allow fat to recover its heat before adding more food.
      • Wear protective clothing.
      • Have a lid ready for safety.
      • Never leave unattended.
      • Stand back if foods are liable to spit.
      • Have frying basket and spider (like a large draining spoon) to hand for safety.

Hello Rococo! I find your work of fitting kitchen appliance safety for great. I myself am a part of the fantastic kitchen fitters in London and I have an ongoing project with my child (a first grader), about safety at home and what I do. I would like to ask if I could include parts of your presentation like the major pros, cons, tips and advice on fitting kitchen appliances the safe way? I tried to look up more information, but there was not much in your profile. I am about to do a small show and tell with a class of children, explaining what are the basic handyman tools we use to assemble and montage the kitchens moms love. I will try to explain how I do custom kitchens design and basic safety precautions, and your presentation will really be of amazing use. I really hope I could get in touch in the following two weeks. It will be a really fun presentation. Cheers

Oh, how difficult it is. I never thought about how complex repairs the kitchen requires and how much needs to be taken into account.

There was a lot of great info here on appliance safety. If you'd like to learn the industry secrets of kitchen appliances and how best to prevent their damage and wear, I'd recommend contacting a real appliance repair company appliancerepairswaco.com/contact to ask them. That's what I did and with the knowledge I learned I was able to prevent common mistakes that cause the need for repairs down the road.
