* Creating a fire hazard by using the microwave as an additional surface and blocking air vents
* Leaving the tumble dryer running unattended or overnight
* Blocking air vents by failing to clean behind the fridge/freezer
* Overloading adaptor sockets, causing an unsafe rise in temperature
* Leaving an electrical appliance on while unattended
