It is a device that accumulates crumbs and other dirt that increases the possibility of catching fire. Its constant connection affects its electrical circuit.
Modern kitchens have more and more appliances and the latest to join the list is the air fryer. But there is one thing about these elements and that is that it must be taken into account when we are using them, to unplug them and thus saving energy and preventing them from burning.
In the case of the toaster, if it is not unplugged after use, it can be dangerous for the home.. This appliance works with electrical resistances that reach high temperatures to brown the bread. When in operation the resistances heat up, being designed for this, the problem occurs when residues accumulate that can increase the risk of fire.

In these devices it is common that crumbs and bread crumbs accumulate on the base tray. If they are not cleaned, they can catch fire with the heat of the resistors. This appliance may have failures in the electrical component, generating a short circuit that could cause a fire. Also leave it always connected can cause an overload in the electrical circuitincreasing the risk of fire.
What to do to reduce the risk of toaster burning
To avoid all these risks, it is recommended to disconnect it immediately after use, thus reducing the possibility of overheat or have an accidental electrical failure. Cleaning up crumbs is important to reduce the risk of catching fire. Check and verify that the cables are not worn or damaged and move the toaster away from combustible materials such as paper, rags or curtains.
