Gas and electric stoves that are improperly installed have a high risk of fires, burn injuries, smoke inhalation and death to the people who live and work in areas where the stoves are in use. When a gas or electric stove is installed or even maintained in a rental property or in an apartment that is being leased, there needs to be precautions taken to provide safety for the residents of the home. If a gas or electric stove is not well maintained or is improperly installed, it can cause a fire, burn injury, smoke inhalation or death to the occupants of the rental property or apartment being leased.
What Precautions Need to Be Taken to Ensure the Proper Installation of a Gas or Electric Stove?.
There are many precautions that should be taken when there is an installation for a gas or electric stove. For example, the entire electrical panel needs to be in excellent working order, before a stove is installed at a property. Likewise, the appliance needs to be checked to ensure that there are no defective parts in the stove, or that there are issues with the manufacturer’s model stove being installed. Other factors that need to be reviewed before installing a gas or electric stove in a home, rental property or apartment include:
- No extension cords are used on the appliance
- The electrical switch points are free from overloading
- The appliance has been tested and in good working order
- The electrical wiring is correct and safe in the area of installation
- The electrical equipment is away from combustible materials
- Other nearby appliances are properly installed
- There is no combustible debris near the appliance
- There are no inappropriately stored objects near the appliance being installed
- There are good electrical plugs, cords and outlets in the area of installation
- Heat producing appliances are well ventilated from the walls
- Electrical appliances can be turned off completely when not in use
- There are no flammable liquids being stored near the stove
