Brilio.net - A good kitchen design not only prioritizes aesthetics, but must also consider aspects of functionality and safety. Unfortunately, many people often underestimate important details in kitchen design, which can ultimately lead to accidents. This can have serious consequences, considering that the kitchen is one of the areas with the highest risk of accidents , such as fires, cuts, or falls.
One aspect of kitchen design that is often overlooked is the layout of appliances and cabinets. Unergonomic placement of appliances, such as an oven that is too high or cabinets that are hard to reach, can lead to injuries. In addition, a lack of efficient storage space often results in kitchen appliances being piled up or scattered, which not only makes the kitchen look messy but also increases the risk of accidents such as falling objects or slipping.
But not only that, the placement of the power outlet is also often placed carelessly. Indeed, the power outlet is very useful for installing appliances that require electricity, such as rice cookers, blenders, or mixers. In some cases, these power outlets are often placed just near the stove . Even though this is very dangerous.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Ruang Tesla on Tuesday (10/22), placing a power outlet near the stove can increase the risk of fire. The stove is definitely located close to the gas cylinder. Well, if the gas cylinder leaks along with the appearance of sparks in the power outlet, it is very possible that a fire could occur.

Some types of electrical outlets often emit sparks, especially when there are electronic devices to be installed. If the gas cylinder is also leaking, it is possible that the electric spark will trigger a fire from the gas coming out of the cylinder.

To be safer, you should always make sure the gas cylinder is in a tight condition. To prevent leaks and hissing sounds from coming out, you can use a gas regulator safety device. This tool will make the regulator fit more snugly and tightly, so it can minimize leaks.

But apart from the power outlet, it is also better to avoid placing the water pump near the gas cylinder. If there is a problem with the pump and the water does not flow smoothly, usually the pump will work harder. This can also cause electrical sparks that have the potential to cause a fire.
Then to prevent this, you should check the water machine's tube or tank. If there is a leak or damage, replace it immediately. In addition, check the installation of water pipes and taps. Make sure there are no leaks or damage, okay.
