      Special precautions, therefore, should be taken to keep this all-too-important room safe.

      Don’t use electrical appliances when your hands are wet or while you’re toughing the sink

            or faucet.

      Replace damged or frayed cords of appliances.

      Turn the handles of pots and pans toward the rear or side of stove.

      Don’t use water to put out a grease fire.

      A fire extinquisher is most effective.

      Keep hoods and ducts over stoves free of grease.

      Keep all poisonous substances in their original containers, with the labels still on.

      Don’t use a knife to open a jar.

      Never insert a knife or any other objectminto a toaster when the toaster is plugged in.
