As the days grow longer and the warmth of summer draws ever closer, it’s crucial to keep fire safety top of mind. Don’t let the relaxed vibes of the season distract you from being prepared. We want to remind everyone about the importance of fire safety and being vigilant as we transition into warmer weather. Indeed, March is designated as Fire Prevention Month, an annual event designed to serve as a crucial reminder to place the utmost priority on ensuring fire safety within our homes. This dedicated month is specifically intended to raise awareness and encourages us all to be more conscious of potential fire hazards. Therefore, please take the time during this period, and beyond, to prioritize home safety and ensure the well-being of your loved ones by practicing fire prevention measures.
Preparing your home proactively creates a relaxing and secure environment. Here are some fire-safe home tips from Beko, Europe’s number 1 large home appliances brand:
Keep the kitchen safe
Did you know that leaving food unattended while cooking is the leading cause of kitchen fires? To ensure safety, always stay attentive while cooking. Keep kitchen towels, cloths, and curtains away from the cooktop as the surface and sides can get hot. In case of emergencies, remain calm and turn off the gas supply if possible.
For gas range, look for products with Gas Safety features like the Beko Freestanding Gas Cookers. It is equipped with a gas safety device that prevents gas leaks by detecting when the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, it subsequently cuts off the gas supply to avoid any incident of fire. This safety feature along with a multifunctional oven makes Beko Freestanding Cookers the smart and safe choice for your home.
Laundry Safety List
Your washer and dryer also need regular attention, as doing laundry is a common household task.
Avoid overloading your machine and separate loads according to the machine’s capacity. Once in a while, inspect your machines for any damage, such as cracks or frayed wires, and always clean the lint trap after each load to prevent fire hazards.
For large loads, consider using a high-capacity washer like the Beko Automatic Top-Loading Washing Machine, which has a 16 kg capacity and a Direct Drive Motor for energy efficiency and durability, ensuring reliable and quiet performance.
Home Safe Home
To ensure fire safety at home, start with simple actions like regularly inspecting outlets and cords for wear and tear and replacing them immediately if damaged.
Before plugging your appliances, make sure to check and label the outlet with its voltage capacity for easy reference. For added peace of mind, invest in accessible fire extinguishers, especially near the kitchen, and install smoke detectors inside and outside bedrooms for early fire warnings.
