Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power 46 mending a lamp or something 47 . All this can cause accidents. So the 48 about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you 49 anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually 50 .

55 , of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.
Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
